Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are shocked to see a Lincoln pulling into their driveway, and even more shocked to see their teenage son getting out of the driver’s seat.
“Son!” they shout. “Where did you get that expensive car?!”
“I was walking home from school earlier this afternoon, but just as I was walking around the corner of Oak Street and Larch Crescent, I saw a woman selling this car for only $15. What a bargain, huh?”
“FIFTEEN DOLLARS?! Who sells a Lincoln at such a low price?! We need to talk to that woman.” In a huff, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson storm to the corner of Oak Street and Larch Crescent. There, they find a woman sitting on her front porch.
“Are you the woman who sold our son a Lincoln for only $15?”
“Yes,” said the woman.
“Why did you sell it at such a low price?!”
“Well,” says the woman, “my husband left me a few days ago and said he was moving to Hawaii. When I asked him how he would be able to afford his new home, he told me to sell the Lincoln and send him the money.”
