A man calls his brother while on vacation... Richard was on vacation, and his brother, John, is watching his cat for him. Richard called John and asked how everything was going. John answered, ""your cat's dead."" Richard freaked out and said, ""you don't just tell someone their cat died like that! You let them down easy!"" ""okay, how should I have said it?"" ""first you say the cat got out, then the next day the cat is on the roof, then the next day he fell, he's at the vet, then the next day, you say he died. So, how is everything else? Did anything else happen?"" ""yeah, mom got out...""
