The other night I was invited out for a night with
"the girls." I told my husband that I would be home by
midnight, "I promise!" Well, the hours passed and the
margaritas went down way too easy. Around 3 a.m., a
bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the
door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and
cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband 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 my husband asked me what time I got
in, and I told him "Midnight". He didn't seem slightly drunk
off at all. Whew! Got away with that one!
Then he said, "We need a new cuckoo clock." When I
asked him why?, he said, "Well, last night our clock
cuckooed three times, then said, "Oh. nuts.", cuckooed
4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another 3
times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped
over the coffee table and farted."
