“Your elderly Dad needs to go home,” said the young husband to his wife.
“He’s been here long enough, and I can’t handle him being around anymore,” he continued.
“He’s claimed the best seat besides our fireplace, drank our coffee, eaten our food, taken command of our TV, and puffs on his pipe whenever he fancies. And whenever I hint that it’s time for him to leave, he just sinks deeper into the recliner, and pretends he can’t hear.”
“I’ve endured this for three months now, and I’m at breaking point. He has to go.”
His wife looks shocked. “What do you mean `my dad’?” she exclaimed. “I thought he was yours!”
Explanation: The humor comes from the unexpected twist. Both the husband and wife assumed the elderly man was the other’s father, leading to a hilarious misunderstanding where neither of them knows who he actually belongs to!
