Paying off the Trailer

Really?? You owe more than exists, and you’re going to pay it? That probably sounds like what bill collectors hear all the time. Kind of like that old redneck joke that Jeff Foxworthy tells about the guy living in a trailor park when a bill collector comes to the door. He says, “Mr. Jones, we really need you to make a payment on this trailor if you want to keep living here.” Mr. Jones knowing he is broke starts making excuses about why he can’t pay. Finally the bill collector gets exasperated and says, “Don’t you have anything to make even a partial payment? Can’t you go down to the ATM or write a check?” The old redneck says incredulously, “You’ll take a check? Well, now, I’ll just pay the whole thing off then.”
