LOTSW Fanatic
A travelling Salesman calls home.
His eldest son answers the phone. He asks his son how everyone is doing, son tells him everyone is fine, but the cat died.
The salesman is heartbroken. He tells his son that he needs to break things like this more delicately. The son asks how.
The salesman tells him to be more delicate. First you tell me the cats stuck on the roof, the next phone call maybe say the cat fell off the roof but you think he’ll be fine. The next call say we took the cat to the vet and he has some internal injuries but we’re hoping for the best, then finally you say the injuries were too much and he passed away.
The son apologises and says he will be more mindful in the future.
A week later the salesman calls the house and his son answers. He asks how’s everyone doing.
“Fine”, says the son, “but Grandma's on the porch climbing up to the roof’.
