I think I've seen this before but it just came back around and is just too funny!
************************************************** **********
The other night a group of classmates invited me out for a night with "the girls." I told my husband that I would be home no later than midnight.
Well, hours passed and the martini's and wine went down much 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 hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution (even when totally smashed), in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him "Midnight". He didn't seem at all angry. 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 shit," ! cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then it tripped over the coffee table and farted."
