I don't usually read the bulk mailings I get, but I read this one and got a chuckle out of it. Thought I'd pass it along
Thanksgiving Divorce
A man in Jacksonville calls his son in San Diego two days before
Thanksgiving 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're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."
