Voted Best Short Joke Of 2007 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Brewmaniac · 11-18-2007, 11:07 AM

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!!!!!!!

I like how the insinuation is that he'd stick around with the $280k mortgage if he had a bike.

$280k? Must be a shoebox in DC.

I thought it was a "short" joke, and I haven't heard a good one since my dad told me to sue the city for building sidewalks so close to my ass.

Move to Kentucky and see the mansions you can get for 280k. Seriously raw materials are worth more than the finished house in some areas

Need to buy in KY!!

ottopilot · 11-22-2007, 09:56 PM

not sure how this got to KY real estate.... but i grew up there (in Lex) and the deal weren't so great in the "nice" parts of town - that is all.

oh, and nice joke.

but in my mind, the best short joke ever -

"what's brown and sticky?"

a stick.
