Christmas Divorce

A man in Jacksonville calls his son in San Diego two days before Christmas 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 Denver and tell her.'

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'

She calls Jacksonville 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 the phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay.' he says, 'They ARE coming for Christmas, and they are paying their own way.

Good one!!!

Do you think that would work for down here?

Might be worth a try....

I tried, next time I’m reading it word for word, the kids are just too smart these days. What a shame.
