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.”

2. 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.”

3. The World Cup Conundrum
A man settles into his seat at the World Cup Final, eagerly awaiting the match. Glancing to his side, he notices an empty seat between him and another fan.
“Who in their right mind would miss the World Cup Final?” he asks out loud.
The other fan sighs and shakes his head.

“That was my wife’s seat,” he said. “We attended the last five World Cup finals together, but sadly, she passed away.”
“Oh no! I’m so sorry,” the man says. “But couldn’t you find another family member to share this with you?”
The fan shakes his head glumly.
“No, brother,” he says. “They’re all at the funeral.”

4. Be Careful What You Wish For
An angel appears in a dramatic puff of smoke, startling a man walking down the street.
“Because you’ve led a life of virtue,” the angel said. “I’m here to offer you a gift. You can choose to be the most handsome man in the world, possess infinite wisdom, or have limitless wealth.”
The man thinks for a moment and confidently decides.

“I’ll take the wisdom,” he says.
“Granted,” the angel declares, vanishing in another puff of smoke.
As the smoke clears, the man feels a sudden surge of enlightenment and mutters to himself.
“I should have taken the money.”

5. The Gorilla Ruse
A zoo’s only gorilla dies just before opening hours.
In a panic, the owner realizes they cannot afford a new one immediately and cannot lose their star attraction. Desperate, he offers one of his employees an extra hundred dollars daily to wear a gorilla suit.
“Just until we can afford a replacement.”

The employee agrees, and before long, the “gorilla” becomes the biggest hit at the zoo, with crowds coming from miles around to see the performance.
After a while, the novelty starts to wear off. Seeking to revive the excitement, the faux gorilla climbed over its enclosure and swung dramatically from the netting above the lion’s next door.

A huge crowd gathers, gasping in shock and awe. But suddenly, the employee loses his grip and falls right into the lion’s den.
Terrified, he starts yelling.
“Help! Help!”
Just then, a lion pounces on him and whispers fiercely.
“Shut up, man, or you’ll get us both fired!”

6. 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?”

A Tale of Cans and Cash
When David and Hillary first get married, David tells her, “I’m putting a box under our bed. You must promise never to look inside of it.”
For 30 years, Hillary kept her promise and never peeked. However, curiosity got the best of her on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary.

She lifts the lid and peeks inside the box. To her surprise, there are three empty beer cans and $2,500 in cash.
That evening over dinner, Hillary can’t contain her guilt any longer. She confesses, “David, I’m so sorry. For all these years, I’ve kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed. But today, the temptation was too much, and I gave in and looked.”
“Now I need to know, why do you keep the empty beer cans in the box?”

David thinks for a while and finally says, “I suppose, after all those years, you deserve to know the truth.”
“Whenever I am unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.”
Hillary is shocked but says, “I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen. And three times isn’t bad considering the number of years we’ve been together.”

A little while later, Hillary asks, “So, why do you have all that money in the box?”
David answers, “Well… Whenever the box fills up with empty cans, I take them to the recycling center and redeem them for cash.”
