Joke of the Day: An elderly man shares some sad news with his son

I just had to share this one with you! If it brought a smile to your face, pass it along—after all, laughter truly is the best medicine!

The day before Christmas Eve, a man in Minneapolis calls his son, who now lives in Chicago.

With a heavy sigh, he says, “Son, I hate to spoil your day, but I have to tell you, your mother and I are divorcing. Forty-five years of misery is enough.”

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

“We can’t stand the sight of each other anymore,” the father replies. “I’m done. I’m sick of talking about this, so please call your sister and let her know.” Then he hangs up.

The son, now panicked, calls his sister. She exclaims, “No way are they getting divorced!” and immediately calls their father.

“You’re not divorcing! Don’t take another step. My brother and I are flying home tomorrow to talk this over. Don’t call a lawyer, don’t file anything. DO YOU HEAR ME?” She hangs up.

The old man turns to his wife with a grin and says, “Well, they’re both coming home for Christmas—and they’re paying for their own tickets.”
