Grandma is on the Roof

Dark Humor

Two brothers lived together with their grandmother and her cat. The first brother went on a business trip, and when he arrived at his destination, he called his brother at home. "I made it safe and sound," he said. "How is everything?"

"Bad," said the second brother. "The cat is dead." "WHAT?!? How could you be so insensitive to tell me like that?" the first brother exclaimed. "You could have broken it to me slowly by saying the cat is on the roof, but you've called the fire department and they are trying to get her down. Later you could have called me and told me that they got the cat down but she has a broken leg, so you are taking her to the vet. Tomorrow you could have called and told me despite the vet's best efforts, the cat died." "Sorry," said the second brother. "I'll remember that next time." "Good," said the first brother. "By the way, how is Grandma?" The second brother replied, "Oh, Grandma is on the roof."
