A retired man in Florida calls up his son in Texas and says,
"Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced.
Thirty-five years of misery is enough."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
“We can't stay together any longer,” he says.
We argue about everything and it never ends !!
She's lazy and wont ever do anything around this house !!
I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in California and tell her I am done with this marriage !!, and he hangs up.
Now, the son is worried and he calls up his sister and tells her about this phone call.
She says, "Like hell they’re getting divorced!" and calls her father immediately. "You’re not getting divorced!
Don't do another thing, the two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, don't call a lawyer, don't file a paper,
DO YOU HEAR ME?” and she hangs up.
The old man turns to his wife and says: "Okay that worked, they’re both coming here for Christmas and paying their own airfares." LOL
