Good night out
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:29 am
The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'boys'. I told my wife that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed and the whisky 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 totals 12 cuckoos =MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in, I told her 'MIDNIGHT'... 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.' 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.
