    A professional hypnotist had been engaged by an old folks home to
    provide an evening's entertainment.

    After his introductory remarks, the hypnotist pulled out a fine pocket
    watch on a long gold chain and indicated he would now demonstrate how
    easily an audience like the one in attendance could be induced to
    follow his every command. He told them that the heirloom watch had been
    in his family for over a hundred years and was worth nearly a thousand
    pounds.

    Swinging the watch gently from side to side, he murmured soft words of
    encouragment to lull the group into a deep sleep. Soon, all eyes in the
    audience were following the movement of the watch and this continued
    for several minutes. Suddenly, the chain slipped from the hypnotist's
    fingers and the watch crashed to the floor, breaking into bits and
    pieces.

    "Oh, sh1t," he exclaimed.

    Took staff a day and a half to clean the auditorium.
