A Christmas tale

[Ms Grumpy]

Straight from Scotland, a wee Christmas tale!

Scottish Christmas



A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve 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." Dad, 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 Leeds and tell her.

Franticly, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like hell
they're getting divorced!" she shouts, "I'll take care of this!" She calls
Scotland 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 & says, " Sorted! They're coming
for Christmas - and they're paying their own way!"
