A man decided to go out with his friends one night. Before leaving, he assured his wife, “I promise I will be home by midnight.”
However, midnight came and went. The man finally stumbled into the house around 3 AM, much later than he had promised. As he entered, he noticed the cuckoo clock on the wall about to chime. Worried that the noise would wake his wife and give away his late return, he quickly came up with a plan.
As the clock struck 3, he started cooing along with it, making a total of nine extra coos. This way, he hoped his wife would think it was 12 o’clock, not 3 AM. Feeling clever, he quietly sneaked into bed, satisfied that his trick had worked.
The next morning, he woke up to find his wife in a surprisingly good mood. She had even prepared breakfast for him. Relieved and a bit smug, he asked, “Did you sleep okay last night?”
His wife replied, “Yeah, but we need a new cuckoo clock.”
Puzzled, he asked her why. She explained, “Last night, it cooed three times, then it yelled, ‘Crap!'”
Confused, he listened as she continued, “Then it cooed another six times, farted, and giggled a little bit.”
She wasn’t done. “Finally, it cooed three more times, farted again, and then tripped on the carpet.”
