It talks?

      New Clock
 A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a
couple of
 his friends late one night. He led the way to his bedroom
where
 there was a big brass gong and a mallet.
 "What's that big brass gong?" 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 friend asked, squinting at it.
 "Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave
the
gong
 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,
"You
 asshole ...
 it's three-fifteen in the morning!"
