An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York 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 old man says. "We're sick and tired of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her." And he hangs up.

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

She calls Phoenix 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 she hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

Sedona, That is very funny. Thanks for posting it!

True story!! Have family scattered in the mid-west and east coast and have never been to LV, too far away.
I sent them an e-mail last april that said,i am going to have gifts for the grand children only this Christmas as the adults very seldem say thanks but the children do.
Well in October I get an e-mail from all the families asking if I was going anywhere for the hoilday. The next e-mail gave their arrival schedules.Moral of the story DO Not threaten they will make YOU pay.
