The Talking Clock

After moving to a new apartment, Sam invited his friends over for a dinner. After the late dinner, Sam proudly showing off his new apartment to his friends.

While he led the way passing the living room, one of his friends asked. “What is the big brass gong and hammer for”. Sam replied, “That is my new talking clock”. His friend asked how it works. Sam said, “Watch”, then he proceed to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer.

Suddenly someone screamed from the other side of the wall… “KNOCK IT OFF, YOU IDIOT! It’s already 11pm.”
