A man calls his son the day before Xmas 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 father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister and tell her."
F...rantic
The old man hangs up the phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says,"they're coming for Xmas and paying their own way!!
