From a woman's perspective.......
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 pissed 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 Shoot", 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."
