The Australian talking clock

[pcdodger 2]

Proudly showing off his newly-leased downtown apartment to a couple of friends late one night, a drunk guy led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong hanging on the wall.

 

 

 

 

'What's that big brass gong for?' one of the friends asked.

'Issss nod a gong. Issss a talking Australian clock' he drunkenly replied.

'A talking Australian clock - seriously?'

 

'Yup.' 'Hmmm (hic).'

 

'How's it work?' the second friend asked, squinting at it.

 

'Just watch' he said.

 

He picked up a hammer, gave the gong an 'ear-shattering bash' and stepped back.

 

His three mates stood looking at one another for a moment in astounded silence.

 

Suddenly, an Australian voice from the other side of the wall screamed,

 

'For fuck's sake, you stupid prick. It's ten past three in the fucking morning!!!'
