VOTED BEST SHORT JOKE OF 2007

For his birthday, little Joe 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 Joe heading out the front door with
a suitcase.
So he asked, "Son, where are you going?"
Little Joe 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 & no bike!!!!!!!
