For his birthday, little Patrick asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His
father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is
$180,000 and your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford
it."
The next day the father saw little Patrick heading out the front
door with A suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?" Little Patrick
told him, "I was walking past your room last night and I 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
$180,000 mortgage and no bike!"
