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 damned if I'm staying here by

myself with a $280,000 mortgage and no bike!
