cool teaser! I thought his break was over or it was time to go to work!
I thought hewas smokin in a public area and acop came ok 1 but it was kind of random But good job
didnt like it...
Heh, never would have thought of that. I thought it was like, he saw a really expensive watch on the ground and had to stop smoking momentarily to pick it up? Yeah, random, weird, I know.
Got me on that one. I wonder if hypnosis really works for that sort of thing. Hmmmm......veddy intereshtink
yay i got it! i was actually being sarcastic when saying, 'omg i bet he's being hypnotized' then i guessed a more logical answer and it was wrong but i still got it half-right!
It's known as a fob watch or pocket watch... and it is a "normal" watch, but it's not a wrist watch.
I started thinking "watch tower" or "watchman", so thinking "Was there a fire? Is he smoking in a no smoking area and a watchman (cop) came along?"
Not bad, but too vague.

that's hil;arious. my guess wasn't even close!
yeah , too vague. The answer wasn't too clear. The hypnosise never tells him to stop smoking. I'm kind of confused
I'm tempted to act like Simon Cowell.
Just kidding.

LOL! I thought he looked at his watch to see what time it was, (this unusual watch)...and it said it was time to QUIT (smoking)
good thinking

hypnotists don't use watches, hollywood-ism.
I thought he was on break too! hahahah
I was thinking that it was almost midnight just before International No-Smoking Day (there is a day, not sure exactly what it's called though), and then he looked at his watch and noticed that it's midnight.
