A college student, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself
out as
a
handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went
to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any
jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The girl said "How about 50 dollars?"
The man agreed and told her that the paint and other materials that
she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house,
heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that
the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should, she was standing on it."
A short time later, the girl came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked.
"Yes," the girl answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it
two coats. "
Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"And by the way," the girl added, "it's not a Porch, it's a
Ferrari."
