An elderly man in New Zealand calls his son in Australia 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."
Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says.
"We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you
call your sister in Brisbane and tell her." and he hangs up.
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 her dad immediately, and screams at the old man, "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, "OK he says,
They're coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares."
