It was entertainment night at the Senior Citizens' Center.
After the community sing-along led by Alice at the piano, it was time for the star of the show - Burt the Hypnotist!
Burt explained that he was going to put the whole audience into a trance. "Yes, each and every one of you and all at the same time," said Burt.
The excited chatter dropped to silence as Burt carefully withdrew from his waistcoat pocket a beautiful antique gold pocket watch and chain.
"I want you to keep your eyes on this watch" said Burt, holding the watch high for all to see.
"It's a very special and valuable watch that has been in my family for six generations," said Burt.
He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch --- watch the watch ---- watch the watch."
The audience became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth.
The lights were twinkling as they were reflected from its gleaming surfaces.
A hundred and fifty pairs of eyes followed the movements of the gently swaying watch.
They were all hypnotized.
And then suddenly the chain broke!!!!
The beautiful watch fell to the stage and burst apart on impact.
"SHIT," shouted Burt.
It took them three days to completely clean up the Senior Citizens Centre and Burt was never invited back again!
Laughter is the best cure for a bad day.
GOOD ONE............
LOL
Indeed!
We need some good comedy actors/shows to give us a break during these horrible times.
Funny, even made the wife LOL.
He should have used the F-bomb.
In light of today’s riot-torn world:
Two social workers were walking through a rough part of the city one evening. They heard moans and muted cries for help from a back alley. Upon investigation, they found a semi-conscious man in a pool of blood.
“Help me, I’ve been mugged and beaten,” he pleaded.
The two social workers turned and walked away. One remarked to the other, “You know, the person who did this really needs help.”
