Why Women Shouldn't Drink

The other night I was invited out for a night with "the girls." I told my partner that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the hours passed and the champagne was going down way too easy.

Around 3 a.m., drunk as a skunk, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up & cuckooed 3 times.

Quickly, realizing he'd 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 smashed), in order to escape a possible conflict with him.

The next morning my partner asked me what time I got in, & I told him 12:00. He didn't seem disturbed 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 its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the cat and farted.
