Hypnotist at Senior Center



It was entertainment night at the Senior Center.


Claude the hypnotist exclaimed: 'I'm here to put you

all into a trance - I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the

audience.'




The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew

a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. The polished metal

gleamed in the light.



Claude the hypnotist said: 'I want you each to keep
your eyes on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in

my family for six generations.'



He began to swing the watch gently back and forth
while quietly chanting, 'Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the

watch . .. . '

The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back
and forth, light shimmering off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs

of eyes followed the swaying watch, until, suddenly, it slipped from the

hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, shattering into a hundred

pieces.


's**t!' said the Hypnotist.


It took 3 days to clean up the Senior Center.
