buy me a $200 bicycle for my birthday
one day little johnny went to his father, and asked
him if he could buy him a $200 bicycle for his birthday.
johnny's father said, "johnny, we have a $80,000
mortgage on the house, and you want me to buy you a bicycle? wait until
christmas."
christmas came around, and johnny asked again. the
father said, "well, the mortgage is still extremely high, sorry
about that. ask me again some other time."
well, about two days later, the boy was seen walking
out of the house with all his belongings in a suitcase. the father felt
sorry for him, and asked him why he was leaving.
the boy said, "yesterday i was walking past
your room, and i heard you say that you were pulling out, and mommy
said that you should wait because she was coming too.
"and i'll be damned if i get stuck with an $80,000
mortgage!"
