Thanks to Cowboy. I have to repost this cause I fell out of my chair laughing, and I wanted to spread this joy to everyone I know.   Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married...> > (If this does not make you laugh out loud, you have lost your sense of> humor.)> > 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 easily.> > Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the> door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed three> times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed> another nine 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... three cuckoos plus nine cuckoos> totals 12 cuckoos--MIDNIGHT!)> > The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him> 'MIDNIGHT.'
