For his birthday, little Joe 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 Joe heading out the front door
with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?" Little Joe
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
