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.
