Clever Joe
Monday, November 26, 2007
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 and your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it."
The next day the father saw little Joe leaving the house with a suitcase. He asked him where he was going.
Little Joe replied, "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mum you were pulling out. Then she told 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.
