This reminds me that I forgot to feed my friends cat yesterday. Oh well, he's back in town today.
There are 2 brothers - Mike and John. John is on vacation and Mike agrees to watch the house. The first night John decides to call his brother and check up on things.
He starts asking how things are and finally says 'How's my cat?'
Mike replies 'I'm sorry, man, you're cat is dead'.
John says 'What?! I really liked that cat, you have to break it to me more gently.'
Mike replies 'Ok, but how do I do that?'
John answers 'Day 1 - I call, you tell me the cat is on the roof. Day 2 - I check up on things, you say that the cat is still on the roof and that you called the fire department. Day 3 - I call and you say the firemen scared the cat, the cat jumped off the roof and is at the vets and it's not looking good. Day 4 - I call and you then tell me my cat died. Understand?'
Mike says 'Ok, I think I got it.'
John then asks how a few other things are and finally says 'How's grandma doing'
Mike Replies 'She's on the roof'
