An old man calls his son and says, "Listen, your mother and I are getting
divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
“We can't stand the sight of each other any
longer,” he says. "I'm sick of her face, and I'm
sick of talking about this, so call your sister and
tell her," and he hangs up....
Now, the son is worried. He calls his sister.
She says, "Like hell they’re getting divorced!"
She calls their father immediately. "You’re not
getting divorced! Don't do another thing. The
two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk
about this. Until then, don't call a lawyer, don't
file a paper. DO YOU HEAR ME?” She hangs
up the phone.
The old man turns to his wife and says, "Okay,
they’re both coming for Christmas and paying
their own airfares.
