Magic Puddle

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, " It's 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! Don't 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."
