Little Joseph Wants A Bike…

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!
