Here is a Xmas joke:

From: www.nzherald.co.nz


Seasonal joke: A man in Christchurch calls his son in Auckland two days before Christmas and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing."

"What? Why, Dad?" the son asks.

"After 40 years we can't stand the sight of each other. It's over. I'm moving out tomorrow," the father says. "I'm sick of talking about this - you call your sister in Dunedin and tell her."

The old man hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who is upset at the news. "They can't get divorced," she says, "I'll talk to them."

She calls her father, "You can't get a divorce, Dad. You and Mum have been so happy together. At least don't make a decision until I get there. We'll both be there by tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing."

She hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Christmas and paying their own way."

:lol: :D

506812 2006-12-15 07:42:00 As I understand it, Christmas came about when Constantine knew that his population of forcibly converted pagans (converted to Christianity) would want to celebrate their usual feasts, but instead of calling it whatever the pagan feast name was, he called it 'Christmas' (or some name that became Christmas) and made a pagan festival into a Christian celebration of Jesus birth. pine-o-cleen (2955)
506813 2006-12-15 09:13:00 Well if I got a call like that I certainly wouldn't interfere in their decision, after 40 years they are old enough to make up their own minds about staying together or not, and me being the child, would certainly be old enough to cope seeing as I had my own home by then. pctek (84)

Add...

...the very fires of Hades can't contribute more to the desiccation of the humour; nor would the Seven Pains of Vice and the accumulated anti-heroes combined with the swords of the Cruel-Earth, if they rose up and consummed the will to exist of the agonised existance of anyone remotely humoured by the joke.
