A man goes on a 2-month business trip to Europe and leaves his cat with his brother. Three days before his return he calls his brother.
" So how is my cat doing?"
"He's dead."
"He's dead! What do you mean he's dead! I loved that cat. Couldn't you think of a nicer way to tell me? I'm leaving in 3 days. You could of broke me to the news easier. You could of told me today that she got out of the house or something. Then when I called before I left you could of told me, 'Well, we found her but she is up on the roof and we're having trouble getting her down.' Then when I call you from the airport you could of told me, 'The fire department was there and scared her off the roof and the cat died when it hit the ground.' "
"I'm sorry...you're right...that was insensitive I won't let it happen again."
"Alright, alright, forget about it. Anyway, how is Mom doing?"
"She's up on the roof and we're having trouble getting her down."
