Hypnotist at Senior Center

It was entertainment night at the senior center, and the
Amazing Claude was topping the bill.

People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist
do his stuff.

As Claude went to the front of the meeting room, he
announced,Unlike most hypnotists who invite two or three people up
here to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every
member of the audience.'

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a
beautiful antiquepocket watch from his coat.

'I want each one of you to keep your eye 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 was mesmerized as the watch swayed back and
forth, light gleaming 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, breaking into a hundred
pieces...................

'SHIT!' said the hypnotist...

It took three days to clean up the senior center.
