A man is going to his business trip to NY, and asks his three sons, "what would you like me to bring you?" The eldest son says, "Dad's going to New York, Dad's getting me a fork". The man says, "Sounds good, you'll have it." The middle son says, "Dad's going to New York, Dad's getting me some pork." The man says, "You're good too, I'll bring you that". The youngest son says, "Dad's going to New York, Dad's getting me a motorcycle." The man says, "Did you hear your brothers say it? It was really nice, and what YOU said is just way too plain, so go ahead and make up something else." The boy says "Ok...", and continues,
"Dad's going to New York
Mom's banger will do his work
Mom's banger is our neighbor Michael
Dad's gonna get me a motorcycle!"[/i]
