Cuckoo Clock

[Amy P]

This is one of my favorites....could have been me - back in the day

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 beer was going down way too easy.

Around 3 a.m., drunk as a skunk, 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 he'd probably wake up,

I Cuckooed another 9 times.

I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a

quick-witted solution (even when smashed), in order to escape a

possible conflict with my husband.

The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I

told him 12 o'clock.

He didn't seem disturbed 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 SH_T!", cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed

another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then farted."
