Mikes grandfather clock suddenly stops working right one day, so he loads it into his van and takes it to a clock repair shop.

In the shop is a little old man who insists he is Swiss, and has a heavy German accent.

He asks Mike, Vat sims to be ze problem?

Mike says, Im not sure, but it doesnt go 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 the grandfather clock.

He turns the flashlight on, and shines it directly into the clocks face.

Then he says in a menacing voice…

Ve haf vays of making you tock!
