A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and
says, "I
hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are
divorcing;
forty-five years of misery is enough."
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the
sight of
each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm
sick of
talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "No way
they're
getting divorced!" she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix
immediately and screams at her father, "You are not getting divorced. Don't
do a
single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both
be
there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says,
"they're
coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."
