A Heartfelt call between father and son turns into a surprising joke of the day
An elderly man called his son, his voice trembling with frustration.
“Listen, son!” he says. “Your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of this misery is more than enough.”
The son, shocked, yells back through the phone.
“Dad, what are you even talking about?”
“I’m done with her,” the father continues. “Can’t stand to face another day with her. I’m tired of talking about this, so call your sister and let her know. Bye.”
He hangs up.
Panicked, the son dials his sister furiously.
After hearing the news, the sister snaps.
“Like hell they’re getting divorced!” she exclaims.
Right on cue, she phones her father and shouts at him.
“You are not getting divorced! Don’t you do a single thing! We’re both coming over this weekend to sort this out. Until then, no lawyers, no paperwork, nothing. Got it?”
She slams down the phone in a fury.
The old man turns to his wife, a sly grin on his face.
“Well, they’re both coming for Christmas,” he said. “And this time they’re paying for their own tickets.”

The Pet Fish Trick
A man is out on the lake with a bucket full of fish when a wildlife officer approaches him.
“Hey there, I see you’ve been fishing today. Can I see your fishing license?” the officer asks.
The man, unfazed, glances at the officer.
“Oh, I don’t need a fishing license.”
The officer points to the bucket.
“You’ve got a bucket full of fish right there. You definitely need a license for that.”
“No, no,” the man replies calmly. “You see, these are my pet fish. I just brought them out for a swim. They love it. When I whistle, they all jump back into the bucket. They’re very well-trained, you see.”
The officer was intrigued but skeptical, and he pondered this.
“I’ve never heard of such a thing. Show me.”
The man dumps the fish back into the lake and waits.
After a few moments, the officer raises his eyebrows.
“Well? Call them back!”
“Call who back?” the man asks.
“Your pet fish!” the officer exclaims.
The man grins widely.
“What fish, officer?”
The Power of Art
A professor, a CEO, and a janitor stumble upon a fairy in the middle of a forest. The fairy, glowing with magic, offers them a deal.
“I’ll give you your heart’s desire folks, but only if you spend a day doing someone else’s job.”
The professor, with a dismissive chuckle, opens his mouth to talk.
“I’ll be an elementary school teacher. How hard could it be to teach six-year-olds to read?”
Instantly, the fairy teleports him to a chaotic classroom. Within minutes, the children’s endless chatter gets to him, and he throws his hands up in defeat.
Next, the CEO smirks, certain of his choice.
“I’ll be a waiter. It’s just carrying plates around, right?”
The fairy whisks him away to a bustling restaurant. Frustrated by the never-ending stream of demanding customers, he drops his tray and storms out an hour later.
Finally, the janitor has his turn.
“I’ll be an artist,” he says calmly.
“Interesting,” the fairy says as she whisks him away.
He’s transported to an art studio. Without hesitation, he gathers all the crayons from a classroom and the shattered plates from the school cafeteria, gluing them to a canvas.
The next day, he sells his abstract creation for a million dollars.
The fairy, impressed with his choice, beamed.
“How did you come up with that?” she asks.
The janitor shrugs.
“Well,” he replies. “I do have a master’s degree in art.”
