Nuts that tell time

It was siesta time in the sleepy Mexican village. Pedro reclined on the sidewalk while his favorite ass, Pablo, stood nearby. An American tourist wandered by, stopped to click a few photos of Pedro and Pablo, then in jest, asked Pedro if he knew what time it was.

Pedro looked up at him, quietly reached over, hefted Pablo’s huge nuts, squinted at them, said “Two-fifteen, senor,” then went back to his siesta. When the tourist checked his watch, it said 2:15! Amazed by this, the tourist took a few photos of Pablo’s nuts, then left.

He told all the people on the tour bus about the man who could tell the time by lifting his asses’ nuts. Of course they didn’t believe it so they had to come see.

Ten minutes later there was a crowd of incredulous American tourists around Pedro. One obnoxious tour member asked Pedro, “Say fella, my friend says you can tell the time by lifting this here asses’ nuts. So, what time is it?” Pedro calmly reached over, hefted Pablo’s nuts, squinted a bit, then said “Two twenty five.” They all looked at their watches and sure enough, it was 2:25!

Then the bidding began for Pablo, the Wonder Ass. When it had reached one thousand twenty five dollars, Pedro accepted, took the money, handed Pablo over to the obnoxious tourist who wanted to know how this incredible time-telling asso worked. Pablo was happy to comply.

“Senor, please seet here.”
“OK.”
“Now, reech over and leeft the nuts.”
“Alright fella, but I still don’t know the time”
“Senor, bend down a leettle bit.”
“What for?”
“Just a little more senor.”
“What’s the deal here, buddy?”
“Now look carefully, senor.”
The tourist gazed intently at Pablo’s nuts.
“I don’t see a thing.”
“But senor is looking in the wrong place. See the clock tower behind the nuts?”
