Got this in a email today...................
Why men should avoid a Lads night out after they are married.......
The other night I was invited out for a night with 'the lads.'
I told my wife that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'
Well, the hours passed and the beers went down way too easy. Around
3 a.m., a bit pissed, 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 wife would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with her. Even when totally smashed...3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!!!
The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in, and I told her 'Midnight'. She didn't seem pissed off at all.
Phew! Got away with that one!
Then she said,
'We need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked her why, she 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.
