An elderly man in Oklahoma rings his son in New York and says, “I hate to spoil your day, son, but I need to tell you that your mother and I are getting divorced. After 45 years of marriage, we’ve had enough misery.”
“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son shouts.
“We can’t stand the sight of each other anymore,” his father replies. “We’re fed up, and I’m tired of explaining it. You call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her.”
Panicked, the son phones his sister. She immediately erupts. “Absolutely not! They are not getting divorced. I’ll sort this out.”
She calls her elderly father straight away and yells, “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t you dare do anything!”
The old man hangs up and turns to his wife. “Well,” he says, “that’s it sorted. They’re both coming for Christmas—and paying their own airfare.”
