A man went on vacation and asked his brother to watch his house, and take care of his cat, whom the man loved.
A few days later, he called his brother. "Hey! How's everything going?"
"Good," his brother said. "But the cat's dead."
"What? What do you mean, the cat's dead?!?"
"Sorry, man, it just died."
"Jesus, dude! You had to tell me like that?!?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, couldn't you break it to me a little easier? That was harsh!"
"How?"
"I dunno! Maybe the first time I talked to you, you could've said, 'The cat got out and is on the roof'. Then the next day you could've said, 'The cat fell off the roof'. Then the third day you could've said, 'The cat's not doing so good.' THEN you could've told me the cat died! You know, sort of ease me into it!"
"Oh, geez, bro, I'm sorry."
"That's okay, it was just a shock to hear you blurt it out like that." The man sighed. "So, anyway... how's ma?"
"Oh... she's on the roof."
Hey, don't blame me, my dad told me that one.
