THIS WAS VOTED THE BEST SHORT JOKE - 
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 and 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 and no bloody bike.
