cuckoo clock
I received an ad for a Dallas Cowboys cuckoo clock. Only 10,000 will be made. They have a bird wearing a Dallas Cowboys helmet that cuckoo's. Had they had Ol Jerry Jones as the cuckoo, they'd have to make millions to meet the demand.

Rest of the story. I ordered the Dallas Cowboys clock and received a Packers clock. Wasn't impressed and returned it for a refund.

Best "cuckoo" clock I ever saw was a large alarm clock we bought in Qatar for one of my brothers-in-law. It was built to resemble a mosque. When it went off, it was the Islamic Call To Prayer. You did not sleep through that alarm, I guarantee you.

I have heard the Call To Prayer done very well, but when it is done poorly it sounds somewhere between fingernails on a chalk board, and a cat under duress. The clock alarm we bought was closer to the cat/chalk board.

After a trip to Germany last year + looking at clocks;the prices have gone insane.No way would I pay that kind of money.In the early 60's you could get one at a fair price (before we rebuilt their infastucture).Don't get me wrong;it is a talent to build one,but I wonder how many they sell at those prices.


Never mistake motion for action.
