An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son Bob in New York and says, ‘I
hate to ruin your day, but your mother and I are divorcing.Forty-five years of misery is
enough!I’m sick of her and I’m
sick of talking about this, so call your sister in Boston and tell her, ‘ and
then hangs up.
The son frantically calls his
sister, who goes nuts upon hearing the news.
She calls her father and yells,
‘You are not getting a divorce!Bob and I will be there tomorrow.Until then, don’t do a single thing, do
you hear me?’
The father hangs up the phone,
turns to his wife and says, ‘It worked! The kids are coming for a visit and
they’re paying their own
way!’
