Painting the Porch

A woman down on her luck is walking through a well-to-do neighborhood looking for odd jobs to do when she approaches a large house.

She goes up to the house, rings the bell and the owner comes to the door. He asks the lady what he can do for her.

The lady tells him of her situation, that she is down on her luck and wants to know if he has any odd jobs that she could do. The man thinks about it for a second and then remembers that he has been wanting his porch painted.

He asks the woman if she paints.

The woman says, "Sure, I’ll do anything."

The man replies, "Well, I have been wanting my porch painted, how much would you charge?"

Responding quickly she says, "I don’t know... ...say $50."

"Sounds good," he says. "Go ahead and get started."

He closes the door and walks back inside. His wife asks him who was at the door, and he explains about the woman and tells his wife that the woman agreed to paint the porch for $50.

"$50?" asks the wife, "but that porch goes around the full length of our house. It will take at least a day. You really should pay her more."

"But that’s all she said she wanted," he responds.

30 minutes later, they hear a knock on the door. The man answers the door and the woman is there and she tells him that she’s done.

With a surprised look on his face he says, "I can’t believe it, you’re already done painting the entire porch??"

She looks at him and says, "Yes, and by the way it’s not a Porsche it’s a Ferrari."
