The Amazing Claude

The Amazing Claude
It was entertainment night at the Senior Center and the Amazing
Claude
was
topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed
hypnotist
do his stuff.

As Claude went to the front of the meeting room, he
announced, "Unlike
most
hypnotists who invite two or three people up here to be put into a
trance, I
intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful
antique
pocket watch from
his coat. "I want you each to keep your eye 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 back and forth, light
gleaming off its polished surface.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch as The Amazing
Claude
continued,
"You are getting sleepy...sleepy... you are now under my power.."
Until, suddenly, the watch slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and
fell to
the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

"Shit" said the Hypnotist.

It took three days to clean up the senior center.
