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!
