AMBIVALENCE/INCEPTION art & voting’s up!

 
A couple of guys are leaving the bar at closing time, when one says to the other, "Hey, you ought to see my new apartment." A little later, making their way through the apartment they arrive at the bedroom. Dwarfing all else in the room is a large gong. "What in the world is that?" says the guest.
"That's my talking clock."
"Talking clock? How would that work?"
"Just watch." And the guy rears back and pounds the gong with tremendous effect.
Through the wall from the next apartment comes a plaintive voice: "Good god, man, it's 2:30 in the morning!"
Budum bum chick!

Welcome back everybody… Happy Friday.  Tell me you didn’t at least crack a smile on that one… now that we’ve got the random part out of the way, let’s get to the art, shall we…
