A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night, and led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong. <br /> <br />"What's that big brass gong?" one of the guests asked. <br /> <br />"It's not a gong. It's a talking clock," the drunk replied. <br /> <br />"A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend. <br /> <br />"Yup," replied the drunk. <br /> <br />"How's it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it. <br /> <br />"Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave it an ear- shattering pound, and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment. <br /> <br />Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "hey a-hole, it's ten past three in the morning!"
