The Drunken Cuckoo

Just after I got married, I was invited out for a night with "the boys."

I told the missus that I would be home by midnight... promise! Well, the yarns were being spun and the grog was going down easy, and at around 3 a.m. full as a boot, I went home.

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

Next morning the missus asked me what time I got in and I told her 12 o'clock.

Whew! Got away with that one!

She then told me that we needed a new cuckoo clock. When I 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, then cuckooed twice and giggled."
