I thought of you when I read this 
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' were my last
words.
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easy. Around
3:00 am and a bit loaded, we piled into a cab and headed for our
respective homes. Just as I got through the door, the cuckoo clock in the
hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Realizing my husband would probably wake up, I quickly cuckooed another
9 times. I was particularly proud of myself for coming up with such a
quick-witted solution to cover up my tardiness. (Even when totally
smashed...3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos....MIDNIGHT).
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him
midnight. He didn't raise an eyebrow and continued to read
the morning
paper. Whew! Got away with that one!!
Then he said, 'I think we might need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed
three times, then said, 'Oh, ####,' cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat,
cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, then tripped
over the coffee table and farted.

I hardly ever giggle.
