A large Nursing Home decided to liven things up for their residents by having a series of entertainment shows. They got a hold of a Talent Agency to see who would be available. They decided to book as the first act "Marco the Magnificent" a hypnotist.
The evening of the show arrived and all had been made ready. A stage sat at one end of the common room and chairs were arranged in front of it. Being a large Home they had well over a hundred residents plus staff. Everyone was seated and ready for the show to begin.
Marco made his entrance and ascended to the stage. He announced in a loud and clear voice, " I am Marco the Magnificent, the greatest Hypnotist in the Western Hemisphere." taking a breath , he continued, "Most Hypnotists will bring several people up on stage and put them in a trance, but I, Marco, will attempt to hypnotize the entire audience."
Taking an elaborate pocket watch from his jacket he held it out and said " This gold and silver watch is worth thousands, it has been in my family for six generations." Ohh's, and Ahh's emanated from the audience as they all jockeyed to get a better view. Marco continued, "Now Ladies and Gentlemen, I will hold up this watch. I want you to concentrate on the watch very carefully and listen closely to what I say."
Marco began to sway the watch back and forth as he said," Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch." Suddenly, the watch chain slipped from his fingers and the watch plunged to the floor, smashing into a hundred pieces! " Ohh CRAP!" Marco cried!
. I heard it took them two weeks to clean up that Nursing Home..........
