How about a dose of some lighthearted amusement with the joke of the day? Well, here it comes. This one’s entitled “The Talking Clock.”
A man walks into a store and sees a clock with a tag on it that says, “This clock talks. Try me.” He’s intrigued and asks the store owner:
“How does this clock work?”
“Just ask for the time, and it will tell you.”
“OK. Let me try.”
The man turns to the clock and says:
“What time is it?”
“At the tone, the time will be 5:30.”
The man is impressed and buys the clock. He takes it home and asks it again:
“What time is it?”
After a few seconds, the clock replies:
“You’re home late!”
