Our grandfather clock suddenly stopped working. So we looked up the only clock repair office in the state, loaded it in the van and headed to the shop.
In the shop was a little old man who insisted he was Swiss but had a heavy German accent asking, "Vat sims to be ze problem?"
I said, "I'm not sure, but it doesn't go 'tick-tock, tick-tock' anymore. Now it just goes 'tick...tick...tick."
The old man said “Leaf it to me” and stepped behind the counter, rummaged around a bit, and emerged with a huge flashlight. He walked over to the grandfather clock, turned the flashlight on, and shined it directly into the clock’s face.
Then he said in a menacing voice, "Ve haf vays of making you tock!"
