Christmas Divorce




A man In Phoenix calls his son in New York a few 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 screamed. "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 can 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 her father in 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 will 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 Christmas and they are paying their own way."
