The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'boys.' I told her indoors that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed
and the beer went down way too easily.
Around 2:30 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and
cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my wife would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9
times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution,
in order to escape a possible conflict with him. Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals = 12 Cuckoos (MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning the wife asked me what time I got in, I told her
'MIDNIGHT'... she didn't seem peed off in the least.
Whew, I got away with that one! Then she said 'By the way, we need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked her why, she said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three
times, then said 'oh shit.' Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
