Hypnotist at the seniors center
It was entertainment night at the Senior Centre 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 2 or three people up
here to be put in 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 you to keep your eye on this
antique watch. It's a very special watch. It has been in my family for
six generations.'
He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while chanting, 'Watch
the watch, watch the watch, 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. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed
the swaying watch, until, suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotists
fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.
'Shit,' said the hypnotist.
It took 3 days to clean up the senior centre
