For his birthday, little Joseph asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His
father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house
is $280,000 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can
afford it." The next day the father saw little Joseph heading out
the front door with a suitcase.
So he asked, "Son, where are you going?" little Joseph told him; "I
was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mom you
were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was
coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a
$280,000 mortgage & no bike.
