A blonde called in a repairman to fix her electric clock. He examined it and told her, „There’s nothing wrong with the clock. You didn’t have it plugged in.”

She replied, „I don’t want to waste electricity, so I only plug it in when I want to know what time it is.”

A piano teacher rarely accepts preschoolers, because counting is so important in music. One day, pressed by a persistent mother, she agreed to interview a young lad of five.

To test his ability, she pointed to the clock and asked, „What number is the big hand pointing to?”

He answered slowly, „Four.”

„And the little hand?” the teacher coaxed.

Puzzled, he looked from the clock to her and asked, „Do you want to know the time?”
