Thanksgiving Joke

From the eMusings mailbag (prepared in advance):

The Thanksgiving Divorce

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving 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?" screams the son.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer... sick of each other and sick of talking about this, so you can call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until we get there; 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 the phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says cheerfully, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and they're paying their own way."
