One day, a policeman walked by and saw a drunk man sitting in a puddle.
"Hey, are you drunk?" asked the policeman.
"No! I"m just resting!" said the drunk man in a lazy voice.
" ow is that so? Well, if your not drunk, what time is it?"
The drunk man raised his arm, as if to point at something, and raised the other arm to cross the first arm over and said, " Its 12:43!"
"Amazing!" said the policeman. It was indeed 12:43! "How did you do that?"
"Hee, hee, hee, magic!" he said in a drunk voice. This happened for 2 more times and the drunk man got it right every time. The policeman puzzled that for a moment and left only to come back to ask the drunk man how he did it.
"Oh ok! Dont push me!" he said. " I"ll tell you how I did it only if you sit with me in this puddle."
" What? No, I"m not sitting in that puddle." said the policeman.
" Ok, then you will not learn my secret."
" Well,ok, but only if you promise to tell me your trick."
"Ya, ya I will."
So the policeman stepped in the puddle, and sat down near the drunk man. " Ok, I"m in the puddle, now what?"
"Well, turn to face that way, and look at that very large building," He pointed, " Do you see it?"
"Ya I see it, so what?" Said the policeman.
"Well, then I bet that you see that the building is BIG BEN the clock tower."
