Girls Night Out

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 champagne 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 &

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 him.

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

& I told him 12:00. 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

shit," cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times,

giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the cat and farted.
