The Cuckoo Clock

The other night I was invited out for a night with the girls.
I promised my husband that I would be home by
midnight.
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went
down way too easy. Around 3 am, a bit loaded, I
headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the
hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly,
realizing my husband would probably wake up,
I cuckooed another 9 times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with
such a quick-witted solution (even when totally smashed),
in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
The next morning my husband asked my what time
I got in and I told him 'midnight.' He didn't seem mad
at all.
Whew!!! Got away with that one!
Then he said, 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night
our clock cuckooed three times, then said, 'DARN!'.
It cuckooed four more times, cleared its throat,
cuckooed another three times, giggled,
cuckooed twice more, then tripped over the coffee table!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
