Girl's Night Out
The other night, a woman was invited out for a night with "the girls." She told her husband that she would be home by midnight. "I promise," were her last words.
The hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. At around 3 a.m. they piled into a cab and headed to their respective homes, quite inebriated.
Just as she walked through the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times!
Realizing that her husband would probably wake up to this, she quickly cuckooed another 9 times. She was quite pleased with herself for coming up with such a quick witted solution to cover up her tardiness. Even with her impaired judgment, she could count 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos equaled 12 cuckoos!
The next morning, her husband asked what time she got in, and confidently, she replied, "Midnight...like I promised." He didn't even raise and eyebrow and went on reading the morning paper. Phew! Got away with that one, she thought!
After a moment, he replied, "I think we might need a new cuckoo clock."
A bit nervously, she asked him why, to which he responded:
"Well, last night our clock cuckooed 3 times, then said, 'Oh, crap,' cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, then tripped over the coffee table and farted."
