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, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck 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 and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

you'll be pulling that one when your kids move out
hopefully it will just be a joke...lol
My dad tries to make me pay my way for Thanksgiving all the time even though I can't afford it. I'll have to remember this joke in case he tries to pull that one on me.
As Dave Chapelle, the sometimes sly guy said "I'M BROKE!"
Funny!!!! I think when my kids are grown and gone...... we'll NOT be telling them where we are for Thanksgiving so we can FINALLY quit cooking for 20 people every year!!!
Thaaaaat Rot thar is funnier den crap!
