The Amazing Claude It was entertainment night at the Senior
Center and the assembly room was packed because none other than
The Amazing Claude, the world's greatest hypnotist, was heading
the evening's entertainment. The lights
dimmed, the spotlight lit the stage as The Amazing Claude came
out.
"I'm here to put you into a trance," said the Amazing Claude. "I
intend to hypnotize each and every member
of the audience."
The excitement was almost electric as The Amazing Claude
withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from
his coat. "I want each of you to keep your eye on this antique
watch. It's a very special watch. It has been in
my family for six generations," said The Amazing Claude, and
then began to swing the watch gently back and
forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch,
and 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 hypnotist's fingers
and fell to the floor, shattering into a hundred pieces.
"SHIT!" said The Amazing Claude ...
... It took three days to clean up the Senior Center. |
