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 $280,000 & 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 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!"
