一天深夜,醉汉骄傲地向两个朋友炫耀自己的新居。他领着他们到了卧室,卧室里有一面很大的铜锣。 "那个大铜锣是做什么用的?”一个客人问道。"这不是锣,是个会说话的报时钟。"醉汉答道。“会说话的报时钟?真的吗?”他的朋友惊讶地问。“是真的。”醉汉说。另外一个客人 问道:“它是怎么报时呢?"边问边眯着眼睛观察铜锣。 "看着。"醉汉说。他拿起了锤子,使劲地敲了一下锣,然后后退了几步。锣发出震耳欲聋的声音。一时间,三个人站在那里面面相觑。突然,墙的另一面有人大声叫道:“你疯了吗 ……现在是凌晨3点10分!" Talking Gong Proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night, the drunk led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong. “What’s that big brass gong for?” one of the guests asked. “It’s not a gong. It’s a talking clock,” the drunk replied. “A talking clock? Seriously?” asked his astonished friend. “Yup,” replied the drunk. “How’s it work?” the second guest asked, squinting at it. “Watch,” the man said. He picked up a hammer, gave it an ear shattering pound and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, “ARE YOU CRAZY ... IT'S TEN PAST THREE IN THE MORNING!” |
