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!"
