The Hypnotist:
The town fathers were looking for a way to
increase attendance and participation at their
regular meetings. One member suggested bringing
in a hypnotist.
The officials agreed, a famous hypnotist was
hired, publicity distributed, and everyone was
pleased. A few weeks later the meeting hall was
packed, and the towns people sat fascinated as
the hypnotist withdrew a pocket watch. The
hypnotist began chanting, "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 the hypnotist's
fingers slipped and the watch fell to the floor.
"Crap!" said the hypnotist.
It took three weeks to clean up the town hall. eek!
