A wife goes out for a night on the town with the girls, telling her husband she`ll be home around midnight.
Midnight passes by, drinks are flowing, the girls are laughing and having a great time. At around 2:45 in the morning, drunk as hell, she finally gets a cab and makes her way back home.
She gets to the front door and ever-so-gently nudges it open, not making a sound. She takes her shoes off, again not making a sound. Knowing her husband will give her hell for coming home so late and drunk, she`s quite proud of herself for being so stealthy.
Just then, the cuckoo clock in the hallway goes off, cuckooing 3 times signalling the late hour. Realizing he might wake up, she decides to cuckoo another 9 times. She smiles to herself, proud that she`d come up with such a clever solution on the spot. He`d never know the difference!
That next morning during breakfast the husband looked at his wife, who was obviously hungover, and asked, “So… what time did you get in last night?â€
“Oh, right around midnight, just like I said,†she replied. The husband didn`t seem disturbed at all. Her plan had worked!
“Well,†he said, “I think we need a new cuckoo clock.â€
“Why do you say that?†she asked.
“Because last night the one we have cuckooed 3 times, then said ‘oh number two,` cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, then tripped over the coffee table and farted.â€
