Alarm

Proudly showing off his
new apartment to a friend
late one night, the drunk
led the way to the
bedroom, where there
was a big brass gong.
"What's that brass gong
for?" asked the friend. "It's
not a gong. It's a talking
clock," the drunk replied.
"A talking clock? How
does it work?"
"Watch this," said the
drunk. He took a
hammer, gave the gong
an ear-shattering pound
and waited. Someone on
the other side of the wall
screamed: "Hey, you jerk.
It's 3:00 in the morning!"
