Hypnotist at a Senior Home

 

 

It was entertainment night at the senior citizens' center.

 

After the community sing along led by Alice at the piano, it was time for the

star of the show: Claude the  Hypnotist!

 

Claude explained that he was going to put  the whole audience into a trance. 
"Yes, each and every one of  you and all at the same time," said Claude.

 

The excited chatter dropped to silence as  Claude carefully withdrew from his waistcoat pocket, a beautiful  antique gold pocket watch and chain.

 

"I want you to keep your eyes on this  watch," said Claude, holding the

watch high for all to see.

 

"It is a very special and valuable watch  that has been in my family

for six generations."

 

He began to swing the watch gently back and  forth while quietly
chanting:

 

"Watch the  watch --- W a t c h  t h e   w a t c h ----W a t c h   t h e   w a t c h."

 

The audience became mesmerized as the  watch swayed back and forth.

 

The lights were twinkling as they were  reflected from its gleaming surfaces.

 

A hundred and fifty pairs of eyes  followed the movements of the gently

swaying watch.

 

They were hypnotized.

 

And then, suddenly the chain  broke!

 

The beautiful watch fell to the stage and  burst apart on impact.

 

"SHIT!", said  Claude.

 

 

It took them three days to clean the Senior Citizens' Center.

Claude was never invited there again.
