> It was entertainment night at the Senior Citizens Center.
> 
> Claude the hypnotist explained: "I'm here to put you 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.
> 
> "I want each of you 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 gleaming off its polished surface.
> 
> A hundred pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch until, suddenly,
> 
> the chain broke; 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 Citizens Center.
> 
> Claude was never invited back.
