A man left his cat with his brother while he went on vacation for a week. When he came back, the man called his brother to see when he could pick the cat up. The brother hesitated, then said, ``I`m so sorry, but while you were away, the cat died."
The man was very upset and yelled, ``You know, you could have broken the news to me better than that. When I called today, you could have said he was on the roof and wouldn`t come down. Then when I called the next day, you could have said that he had fallen off and the vet was working on patching him up. Then when I called the third day, you could have said he had passed away.``
The brother thought about it and apologized.
"So how`s Mom?" asked the man.
"She`s on the roof and won`t come down."
