A man in Newfoundland calls his son in Calgary 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
Vancouver 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 Newfoundland 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 by tomorrow.
Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and she
hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
"Okay," he says, "they're coming for Christmas and
paying their own way."
