Cuckoo Clock

"Burglar"

A man went to the police station wishing to speak
with the burglar who had broken into his house
the night before.

"You'll get your chance in court," the desk sergeant
told him.

"No, no, no!" replied the man. "I want to know how
he got into the house without waking my wife. I've
been trying to do that for years!"

"Cuckoo Clock"

The other night I was invited out for a night with
"the boys." I told my wife that I would be home by
midnight... promise!

Well, the hours passed and the beer was going down
way too easy. At around 2:30 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 and cuckooed 3 times.

Quickly, I realized she'd probably wake up, so I
cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself,
having a quick-witted solution, even when smashed, to
escape a possible conflict.

The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in,
and I told her twelve o'clock. She didn't seem
disturbed at all. Whew! Got away with that one!

She then told me that we needed a new cuckoo clock.
When I asked her why, she said, "Well, last night our
clock cuckooed three times, then said "oh crap,"
cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed
another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and
then passed gas."
