A young blonde in her late teens wanted to earn some extra summer money, so she advertised herself as a “handy woman” and started knocking on doors in a wealthy neighborhood.
At the first house, she asked the owner if he had any odd jobs.
“Well,” he said, “I could use someone to paint the porch. How much would you charge?”
“$50,” she replied instantly.
He agreed and told her the paint and brushes were in the garage.
Overhearing this, the man’s wife whispered, “Does she realize the porch goes all the way around the house?”
He shrugged. “You’re being a bit cynical.”
A few hours later, the girl knocked on the door.
“You’re finished already?” the man asked, shocked.
“Yes,” she said cheerfully. “And I even had paint left, so I gave it two coats.”
Impressed, the man handed her the $50 plus a $10 tip.
“Thank you,” she said. “And by the way—it’s not a porch…”
“It’s a Lexus.”
