"Clock is Busted" joke

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!
