A man in Newfoundland calls his son in Calgary two days before Easter
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 Vancouver and tell her." 

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "No 
way they're getting divorced!" she shouts, "I'll take care of this." 

She calls Newfoundland 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 by 
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 Easter and paying their own 
 way."
