@Sergio- Who else here is old enough to remember John Cameron Swayze strapping a Timex to the blades of an outboard motor, taking it for a spin, then showing "it's still ticking!"
@M. Mitchell Marmel- Are you sure that was an alligator and not a clockodile?
Does Timex even still make a watch that needs to be wound? The last one I had quit when the serrations on the winding knob got worn off and I couldn't wind it any more.
@American Cowboy- I'm willing to take that risk, what's the punchline?
@JustaJeepGuy- I don't know if there are wind-able models these days. Heck, it's been years since I've worn a watch of any kind. I just try to glance at a clock every hour or so.
Okay here goes. A lady of the night was bitten by a wood tick and developed Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and became quite ill. However she kept on providing her "services". She took a ticking and kept on licking. (Groan)
@American Cowboy: (Sung to the tune of Grandfather's Clock by Allan Sherman) My grandfather's clock was the best ever made By the Timex company, Just like one John Cameron Swayze displayed Last night on our TV.
Oh, it works underwater so perfectly, And it still makes a ticking sound. Which my grandfather tried only this afternoon— And that's how the old man drownded!

Reminds me of Stilton's take on Ilhan Omar....You'll know I'm done when it stops ticking.

It reminds me of a story about a lady of the night bitten by a wood tick. Not sure I can tell the punch line without getting censored though.

@Stilton- Sorry about that, it was the first (and only) thing that came to mind....
