A man was showing some buddies his new bachelor pad apartment. They walked in and saw a 6 ft. diameter gong (not a typo) hanging on the wall and asked, "what the heck is that and why do you have it in your apartment?"
"It's a talking clock. I use it to tell time sometimes."
"How does it work? I don't see any clock hands....?"
"Here, I'll show you."
The guy grabs a large sledge hammer sitting next to the gong and swings. "GOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNG."
His two friends grab their ears and look at their buddy like he's an idiot, and he just motions for them to shutup and listen. Sure enough, a few seconds after the gong quiets down, they hear from behind the gong a voice......"YOU JACKASS, IT'S 2:30 IN THE FREAKING MORNING!!"
