Joke , nicked from elsewhere but strikes a note it's funny

[hedgehog]

The other night I was invited out for a night with the "boys." I told
my wife that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the
hours passed and the beer's 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 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my wife 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 her. Even when
totally smashed .... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals = 12 Cuckoos -
MIDNIGHT!

The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in ... I told her
"MIDNIGHT"... she didn't seem p_off in the least.

Whew ... I got away with that one! Then she said "We need a new cuckoo
clock."

When I asked her why, she said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed
three times, then said "oh sh_t." Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its
throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and
then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
