The other night I was invited out for a night with the "lads."
I told my wife that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the hours passed and the beers went down way too easily. Around 3 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 her. Even when totally smashed ... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos = 12 Cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!
The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in ... I told her "MIDNIGHT".... Amazingly she didn't seem pissed off in the least. Whew ... I got away with that one!
Then she said "We need a new cuckoo clock."
"Why?" says I?
"Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said "oh shit.", cuckooed four more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, belched, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
