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 and 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 danged if I'm staying here by myself with a $280,000
mortgage and no bike!
