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?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer " the father says. "We're sick of each other and I'm sick of talking about this, co you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "No way they're getting divorced!" she shouts, "I'll take care of this!"

She calls Phoenix 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, turns to his wife, "Okay", he says, "they are coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."
 
This seems like very practical instructions on how to deal with wayward adult children. Surely it belongs in "Tips and Tricks"?

That's funny!
 
My first wife has been divorced so many times she got in trouble with the IRS... she tried to claim her lawyer as a dependent.
