BREAKING
CURFEW
One afternoon Sandra was invited to a “Girls Night
Out” by some of her female friends. She called up her
husband to let him know she would be out and promised him
that she would be home by midnight at the latest. Because
she and her girlfriends were having such a good time (and
a lot of alcohol), Sandra didn’t realize that the hours
were flying by. At almost 3 in the morning she drunkenly
took a cab home, worried about a confrontation from her husband.
When she quietly slipped through the front door the cuckoo
clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly
realizing that her husband would probably wake up, Sandra
cuckooed another 9 times. She was proud of herself for coming
up with such a quick-witted solution to make her husband
think she arrived home at midnight.
The
next morning Sandra’s husband calmly asked her
what time she got home from her night out with the girls.
She held her breath and told him 12:00. She breathed a
sigh of relief when he didn’t react negatively.
“Whew!
Got away with that one!” Sandra thought to herself.
Then
her husband said, "We need a new cuckoo clock."
When
Sandra questioned why, her husband said, "Well, last
night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, "oh
no!" cuckooed 4 more times,
hiccupped, cuckooed 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more,
and then tripped over the chair in the hall and stepped
on the cats tail.”
