A Talking Grandfather’s Clock
A GRANDFATHER clock that has gone modern with a vengeance, which” chimes and talks the hours, reminds you that it is eight o’clock — time to go to school, picks up broadcast music, plays the latest record hits—-which in fact seems to have everything but a soul, has recently been built by Joseph Pinto. The clock contains the usual clock machinery, a loud speaker, a radio receiving set, phonograph and records.
Hmmm. Just the thing for an heirloom to leave the family.

Hopefully they made the record like HappyCat alarm clock from Duck Dodgers
Clock: HA HA HA! HA HA
Clock: Wake up! You are lazy and worthless!
Clock: HA HA! And powerless to stop me!
Clock: You think I go away? But I’m still here! HA HA
Clock: You want peace and quiet? TOO BAD! HA HA
Clock: I’ll never let you sleep again! HA HA
Clock: …Not broken. HA HA HA! HA HA HA!
