The Porch

One summer, a blonde in her late teens wanted to earn extra money. She then decided to be a "handy woman" and started out by canvassing a nearby fairly well-to-do neighborhood. She knocked on the front door of the first house and asked the man who answered the door if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint the porch" he said. "How much will you charge?"

The girl quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that everything she would need--brush, paint, etc.--were in the garage.

The man's wife, hearing the conversation, told her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?"

"That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" he replied.

The wife responded, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes."

A few hours later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

"You're finished already?" the startled husband asked.

"Yes," replied the blonde, "and since there was plenty of paint leftover, I gave it two coats."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket, pulled out $50 and handed the money to her along with a $10 tip.

"Thank you," said the blonde, and then added: "And oh, by the way, it's a Lexus, not a Porch."
