My Dad's grandfather clock stopped the other day, so I loaded it into
the Bronco and took it to a clock repair shop. In the shop is a little
old man who insists that he is Swiss, and has a heavy German accent.
He asks "Vat sims to be ze problem?"
I said "Well I'm not sure, but it doesn't gp 'tick-tock-tick-tock'
anymore. Now it just goes 'tick....tick...tick".
The old man says "Mmm-Hm!" and steps behind the counter, where he
rummages around a bit. He emerges with a huge flashlight and walks over
to the grandfather clock. He turns the flashlight on, and shines it
directly in the clocks face. Then he says in a menacing voice "Ve haf
vays of making you tock!"
