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 = MIDNITE.
The next morning my husband asked me what
time I got in, and I told him "Midnight"!. He didn't
seem upset at all. 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 sh#@.", cuckooed 4 more times, cleared
it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled,
cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the
coffee table."
