>It was entertainment night at the Senior Center.
>
>Claude the hypnotist exclaimed: 'I'm here to put
>you all 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. The polished metal gleamed in the light.
>
>Claude the hypnotist said: 'I want you each 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 shimmering 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, shattering into a hundred pieces.
>
>'****!' said the Hypnotist.
>
>
>It took 3 days to clean up the Senior Center.
