FATHER IN U.K. TELLS ADULT SON HE IS DIVORCING MOM

“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams.

“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the father says, “so you call your sister in Hawaii and tell her.”

Frantically, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, “they’re doing no such thing”, she shouts. I’ll take care of this!”

She calls home 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 his phone and turns to his wife.

“I told you, it’s done! My little plan worked; they will both be home for Christmas after so many years of refusing to come visit us.”
