*The Painter*
Julie was getting pretty desperate for money. She decided to go
to the
nicer, richer neighborhoods around town and look for odd jobs as
a
handywoman.
The first house she came to, a man answered the door and told
Julie,
"Yeah, I have a job for you. How would you like to paint the
porch?"
"Sure, that sounds great!" said Julie.
"Well, how much do you want me to pay you?" asked the man.
"Is 50 bucks all right?" Julie asked.
"Yeah, great. You'll find the paint and ladders you'll need in
the
garage."
The man went back into his house to his wife who had been
listening.
"Fifty bucks! Does she know the porch goes all the way around
the
house?" asked the wife.
"Well, she must, she was standing right on it!" her husband
replied.
About 45 minutes later, Julie knocked on the door. "I'm all
finished,"
she told the surprised homeowner. The man was amazed.
"You painted the whole porch?"
"Yeah," Julie replied, "I even had some paint left, so I put on
two
coats!"
The man reached into his wallet to pay Julie.
"Oh, and by the way," said Julie, "That's not a Porch, it's a
Ferrari."
