My wife sent me this joke. Sorry if you have already heard/read it.
Ed.
For his Christmas Little Billy asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said,
"Son, we'd give you one, but the Mortgage on this house is £80,000 and your mother just lost her job.
There's no way we can afford it."
The next day the father saw Little Billy heading out the front door with
a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?"
LIttle Billy told him, "I was walking past your room last night
and heard you tell mum 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 an £80,000 mortgage and no
F**king bike!"
