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 whiskey went down way too easy.
Around 3 a.m., a bit smashed, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckoo’d 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my wife would probably wake up [she’s not a heavy sleeper], I cuckoo’d another 9 times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution (even when totally banjaxed), in order to escape the wrath of “she who must be obeyed”.
The next morning she asked me what time I got in, and I told her “Midnight”.
She didn’t seem to have noticed anything odd. “Whew, got away with that one” I thought.
Then she said, “We need a new cuckoo clock.”
When I asked her why, she said:
“Well, last night our clock cuckoo’d three times, then said, [in a deep manly voice] “Oh feck, fick, fack”, cuckoo’d 4 more times, cleared it’s throat, cuckooed another 3 times, chuckled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted very loudly.”
