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 & 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 
>>& no bike.
