An old dad calls his son and declares,
“Listen, your mother and I have decided to end our marriage. Forty years of misery is more than enough.”
Shocked, the son exclaims,
“Dad, what on earth are you saying?”
His father responds,
“We simply can’t endure each other’s company any longer. I’ve grown tired of seeing her face, and I’m exhausted from discussing this. So, call your sister and inform her.”
He then hangs up.
The son becomes anxious and contacts his sister, who adamantly insists,
“There’s no way they’re getting divorced!”
She promptly calls their father.
“You’re not going through with this divorce! Don’t take any further action. Both of us are flying home tomorrow to discuss this matter. Until then, don’t contact a lawyer or file any paperwork. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”
She abruptly ends the call.
Turning to his wife, the old man chuckles and says:
“Alright, they’re both coming for Christmas, and they’re covering their own airfare.”
