Phil goes on holiday and leaves his favourite dog with his brother James.
While away, Phil phones his brother to see how his dog is.
Tersely, James says: 'The dog is dead.'
'What?' says Phil, 'you can't just tell someone without warning, you have to break the news gently'.
'How?' asks James
'Well, the first time I call, say the dog is on the roof, that it's doing fine and not to worry. The next time say she jumped off the roof and broke a leg, that she's OK, but will have to stay at the vet's. Are you getting this?'
'Yes' says James.
'Good' says Phil. 'The next time I call, tell me the dog's wounds were infected and it died. Then it won't be such a shock to me, Got it?'
'Yes' says James.
By the way, says Phil. 'How's grandma doing?'
'Well' James says, 'she's on the roof.......'
