| 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
