' 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'.
