Scottish Christmas

[Slacker]

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.”



Frantically, 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. 'Sorted!
They're coming for Christmas - and they're paying their own way.'

Why did this not start a Man in England? Are you stereotyping Scotsmen? Is this Politically correct? Or is it allowed because it's humour as opposed to a warning about scams?

You can't have it both ways!

er, because it's a long way from London

Nice politician's answer, avoiding the crux of the question.

Why didn't it start A man in England rang his son in Paris?

[Slacker]

Because I copy / pasted it from an email

[therealjr]

so political correctness can go out of the window just so long as you are only cutting and pasting?
