Seniors

[pet-els]

It was entertainment night at the Senior Citizens' Centre.

After the community sing-along led by Alice at the piano, it was time for the star of the show - Burt the Hypnotist!

Burt explained that he was going to put the whole audience into a Trance. “Yes, each and every one of you and all at the same time," said Burt.

The excited chatter dropped to silence as Burt carefully withdrew from his waistcoat pocket a beautiful antique gold pocket watch and chain.

"I want you to keep your eyes on this watch" said Burt, holding the watch high for all to see. "It's a very special and valuable watch that has been in my family for six generations," said Burt.

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting "Watch the watch --- watch the watch ---- watch the watch."

The audience became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth. The lights were twinkling as they were reflected from its gleaming surfaces.

A hundred and fifty pairs of eyes followed the movements of the gently swaying watch.

They were all hypnotized.

And then suddenly the chain broke!!!! The beautiful watch fell to the stage and burst apart on impact.

"Shit!” shouted Burt.

It took them three days to completely clean up the Senior Citizens Centre and Burt was never invited back again!

A some what different result to when "The Italian Stallion" from room 104 did his hypnotising show ... same deal but when the chain broke the hypnotist let loose with the "F" word .... it took all day for the medical team to treat those with weak hearts, some more than once because they were still under the spell ... others who thought this was a great lark and pretended to be hypnotised in the first place .... older women can be cunning like that
After the carpet had been shampooed for the third time and the meals changed from lemons to get smiles under control, they all voted for the show to be repeated in a month ..... so they had time to get their energy levels back up and the staff time to stop laughing and winking every time they passed
