[SOC] Girls Night Out

[Ron Wetjen]

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 margaritas went down way too easy.  Around 3 a.m.,
a bit loaded, I headed for home.  Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo
clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.  Quickly, realizing
my husband would 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 totally smashed), in order to escape a possible conflict with
him.

The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him
"Midnight".  He didn't seem pissed off 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 it's throat, cuckooed another 3
times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee
table and farted."
