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.
