Jack worked in a shop that sold clocks.He was always telling Harry to buy a new clock.But Harry,who lived next door to Jack,said he didn’t need one.  “ Everyone needs a clock,” Jack said.“How do you know when it’s time to get up?”  “My landlord Mr.Smith turns on his radio at seven o’clock and listens to the news,” Harry said.“That’s my morning call.”  “Ok.But how do you know when to go to work?”  “By the time I have eaten my breakfast,it’s eight o’clock,time to leave for the office.Then I walk there.When I arrive at my office,it’s nice o’clock.That’s the time I start work.”  “Ok.But how do you know when it’s time to go home?”  “The factory bell rings ” Harry told him.  “But how do you know when it’s time to go to bed?”  “The television programs come to end.”  By now Jack was really angry .“Ok,” he shouted.“Now tell me what would happen if you woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to know the time.”  “That’s easy,” Harry said,“I would knock heavily on your wall.Then you would shout at me,‘What are you doing knocking on my wall at three o’clock in the morning?’”
小笑话.
杰克在一个钟表店工作.哈利住在杰克家隔壁,杰克总是劝说哈利买个新的钟,但哈利总是说用不着.
杰克:“每个人都会用到钟的.比方说,你怎么知道早上什么时候该起床了呢?”
哈利:“我的房东史密斯先生每天早上7点打开收音机收听新闻,那时我就会起床的.”
杰克:“好吧,不过你怎么知道什么时候该出门上班了呢?”
哈利:“我吃完早饭后就是8点钟,那时就该出门去上班了.我步行上班,到单位的时候,就是9点钟,也就是我开始干活的时间.”
杰克:“好吧,但是你怎么知道什么时候该下班了呢?”
哈利:“工厂有下班铃.”
杰克:“但是你怎么知道什么时候该上床睡觉了呢?”
哈利:“等到所有电视节目都放完了.”
杰克已经有些火冒三丈了,他咆哮道:“现在你告诉我,假如你半夜醒来想知道时间,你会怎么办!”
哈利轻轻一笑:“太简单了,我会使劲捶你们家的墙,你肯定会嚷嚷‘哪个混蛋凌晨3点钟了不睡觉、没事儿敲墙?’”
