Ebad, a friend from Kansas, sent me this one...

Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married!...

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 3:00 AM, a bit loaded, I headed home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing that 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, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos equals 12 cuckoos or midnight!)

The next morning, my husband asked me what time I got in and I told him, "Midnight." He didn't seem p*ssed off at all. Whew! Got away with that one!

Then he said, "We need a new cuckoo clock."

When asked why?, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, 'Oh sh*t', cuckooed four more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and belched."
