For his birthday, little Johnny 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 Johnny heading out the front door with a

suitcase.

So he asked, 'Son, where are you going?'

Little Johnny 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

and no bike!!!!'
