The Famous Hypnotist

A famous hypnotist was performing in a large auditorium full of students one night. He began to speak in a soft and steady voice over the loud-speaker system:

- Listen to the sound of my voice... - he kept repeating,

- the sound of my voice... every word is a command... the sound of my voice...

Pretty soon, he had every single student in the audience completely mesmerized, each one hanging on his every word.

Needing to take a quick piss, he announced:

- I will have to leave the stage for a moment, but you will all remain in a trance while I am gone

And then he repeated the words:

- the sound of my voice... every word is a command.

As he turned to go, he tripped over the microphone cord, landed on his butt, and yelled:

- SHIT!
