An old man shares sad news with his son – but there’s a twist
Heartfelt call between father and son turns into a surprising joke of the day
Just a day before Christmas Eve, an elderly man in Minneapolis decided it was time to make a call to his son, who had been living in Chicago for several years.
With a sigh, the father began, “My dear son, I hate to ruin your day, but I need to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce. Forty-five years of misery is more than enough.”
Shocked, the son shouted, “Dad, what are you talking about?”
“We can’t bear the sight of each other any longer,” the father replied. “I’m tired of arguing about this, so please call your sister and tell her.” Without another word, he hung up.
The son, now anxious and alarmed, immediately called his sister and relayed their father’s shocking news. The sister’s response was instant, “Like hell they’re getting divorced!” She wasted no time dialing their father’s number.
“Dad, you’re not getting divorced! Don’t do anything drastic. My brother and I are flying home tomorrow. Until we get there, don’t call a lawyer or file any papers. DO YOU HEAR ME?” She hung up, leaving no room for argument.
The old man turned to his wife with a smile and said, “Well, it worked. They’re both coming home for Christmas—and they’re paying their own way.”
A Silly Surprise at the Coffee Shop
On a lighter note, here’s a story bound to make you chuckle.
An elderly woman in Montana decided to visit her doctor to discuss her husband’s diminishing interest in intimacy. The doctor listened and suggested, “Have you tried Viagra?”
“No way,” the old woman scoffed, “he won’t even take aspirin.”
The doctor offered a solution, “No problem. Use Montana Viagra—just put a dose in his coffee when he’s not looking. He won’t taste a thing. Try it, and let me know how it goes in a week.”
Seven days later, the woman called back, her voice trembling with mixed emotions. “Oh my goodness, doctor! It was terrible!”
The doctor, puzzled, asked, “What happened?”
“I did as you suggested. I slipped the pill into his coffee, and the reaction was immediate. His eyes lit up like never before, and he jumped up, swept everything off the table, tore off my clothes, and took me right then and there. It was wild!”
Surprised, the doctor responded, “That sounds incredible! Why was it so terrible?”
The woman sighed, “It was incredible, the best thing in 25 years! But now I can never show my face in the downtown Starbucks again!”
