One of the Senior Agents of the Humor Patrol has just captured a beauty. His (or her) identity must remain hidden since he (or she) might be at risk if his (or her) cover was compromised. Collecting, or stealing, jokes is a dangerous enterprise.
For those of you who have not sent in your $100 amusement fee (and you know who you are), do so forthwith (or is it fors wis)… otherwise we may have to terminate your subscription and/or flood the internet with embarrassing information about your past.
Now that we have taken care of business, we can proceed to this week’s installment.
For his birthday, little Patrick 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 Patrick heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, “Son, where are you going?”
Little Patrick 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!”
