Harvey’s 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 Harvey,
“Vat sims to be ze problem?”
Harvey says,
“I’m not sure, but it doesn’t 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 to 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!”
