The 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 $580,000 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 $580,000 mortgage and no f*#kin' bike."
