Little Johnny (Joke)

by SteveGargini Apr 13, 2004 9:32AM PDT

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."

A few days later, the boy was seen walking out of the house with all his belongings in a suitcase. The father caught up to him and asked him why he was leaving. The boy said, "Yesterday when I was walking past your room, I heard you say that you were pulling out, and I heard mommy beg you to wait because she was coming too, and I'll be DAMNed if *I'll* get stuck with an $80,000 mortgage!"
