It was entertainment night at the Senior Center. Claude the hypnotist
exclaimed: "I'm here to put you into a trance; I intend to hypnotize
each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful, solid
gold antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want each of you 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 ba ck 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.

"****!!!" said the hypnotist.

It took three days to clean up the Senior Center

a lethal combination of smart dairyair and dumb dairyair .
