subject: Cuckoo Clock
I told my husband I would be home by midnight, "I PROMISE !"
Well, the hours passed and the Margaritas went down way too easily.
Around 3 am 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 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 what time I got in, I told him "MIDNIGHT".. And he didn't seem upset in the least... Whew, I 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 3 times then said "Oh Sh!t" ; Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled cuckooed twice more, then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
