Reply to comment by BansheeShriek in This man went out with the boys, and told his wife that he would be home by midnight. by Jackrwood

The clock makes a cuckoo noise to respresent what hour is it. He was supposed to be home at 12 o’clock. When he gets home the clock cuckoos 3 times meaning it’s 3am. If the wife heard this, she would know he was late. So, he imitates the cuckoo noise 9 more times to make it seem like it was 12 o’clock. Because 9+3=12
