Following a night out with a few friends, a man brought them back to show
 off his new flat. After the grand tour, the visitors were rather
 perplexed by the large gong taking pride of place in the lounge.

 "What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked.

 "Why, that's my Speaking Clock" the man replied.

 "How does it work?"

 "I'll show you", the man said, giving the gong an ear-shattering  blow
 with an unpadded hammer. Suddenly, a voice from the other side of the wall
 screamed,

 "For f*ck's sake, you w*nker, it's twenty to two in the f**king
 morning!!"
