Gotta love the wife...
Just after I got married, thought I'd play a joke on the missus.

I hid a small digital clock in the bookcase in our front room, set it to beep on the hour...

That's it!

For weeks, she'd hear a faint 'beep' noise and couldn't find where it was coming from. On numerous occasions it would beep whilst I was in the room, she'd then mention it and I would swear blind I'd not heard anything.

This went on for about 2 months...

Came home from work and met triumphant wifey on the step, she had figured out the source of the beeping, we had a labradour called Sam who had been 'chipped'. She reckoned that the battery in the chip was running low and had started to beep, so we had to take him to the vet for a new one...

I lead her wordlessly to the bookcase, removed the clock from the bookcase, put it on the dining room table, it beeped (5pm) I then went upstairs and got changed.

Needless to say, I made my own tea that night..

Length? the chips are about as wide as your thumb...
