Cuckoo Clock




Just after Frank got married, he was invited out for a night with
"the boys."  Frank told the misses that he would be home by midnight.

Well, the yarns were being spun and the grog was going down easy, and
at around 3 a.m. full as a boot, Frank went home.

Just as Frank got in the door, the cuckoo clock started, and cuckooed
3 times.  Quickly he realized she'd probably wake up, so Frank cuckooed
another 9 times. Frank was really proud of myself, having the quick
wittiness -- even when smashed -- to escape a possible conflict.

Next morning the misses asked Frank what time he got in and he told
her 12  o'clock. Whew!  Got away with that one!  She then told Frank
that we needed a new cuckoo clock.

When he asked her why she said: "Well, it cuckooed 3 times, said
'dang it,' cuckooed another 4 times, farted, cuckooed another 3 times,
cleared its throat, and cuckooed twice and giggled.
