An old man calls his son and says, "Listen, your mother and I are getting a divorce and I don't want to talk about it."
The son is completely shocked and says, "What are you talking about? Can't this be worked out?"
The old man says, "Look we just can't stand being around each other any more, I don't want to even look at her any more. So, call your sister and let her know too." Then he hangs up.
The son calls his sister and breaks the news to her. To which she replies, "Like heck they are, I'm calling them right now."
The sister calls her dad and as soon as he picks up says, "You're not getting a divorce, don't even think about filing papers. My brother and I will be flying home first thing tomorrow and we're working this out at a family!"
The old man hangs up the phone and turns to his wife and says, "Well, that worked out. The kids are coming home for Christmas and they're paying for their own airfare."
