The 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.

'SHIT!' said the Hypnotist.

It took 3 days to clean up the Senior Center.
