Question

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."

I'll give you a star. And, no, I'm not going to tell you the stupidest thing I've ever done. But that does remind me of the time I was cleaning my shotgun in the kitchen when a black widow started to crawl across the wall. I had jacked a shell into it and was coming to position when my younger brother grabbed it and yelled NO, if you do that I have to fix the hole.

Answer 9

That's a good Thanksgiving joke. 10

Answer 10

Really good. The joke depicts both the parental and filial affections in a nice way.
Such jokes are useful to all in the society.
Now, for the rating. I would rate your joke as No.1 and even after a hectic bargain, you would not get one more than that number.
