sorry if it's old or a repost, but i found it funny.
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.
