Proudly  showing off his newly-leased downtown apartment  to a couple of friends late  one  night  , A  drunk Maori led the way to his bedroom where  there was a big brass  gong  hanging on the  wall.  
'What's  that big brass gong for?' one of the friend's  asked.  
'Issss  nod a gong. Issss a talking Australian clock' he  drunkenly replied.  
'A  talking Australian clock -  seriously?'  
'Yup.'  'Hmmm (hic).'  
'How's  it work?' the second friend asked, squinting at  it.  
'Just  watch' he said.  
He  picked up a hammer, gave the gong an  'ear-shattering bash' and stepped  back.  
His  three mates stood looking at one another for a  moment in astounded silence.  
Suddenly,  an Australian voice from the other side of the  wall screamed,  
'For  f*#k's sake, you stupid pri*#. It's ten past  three in the f*#king morning  !!!'
