Polite Bad News?

Question

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.......'
