Painting the Porch

[BULLO12]

A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer,

decided to hire herself out as a 'handy-woman' and started

canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of

the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said,

'How much will you charge me?'Delighted, the girl quickly responded, 'How

about $50?'

The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything

she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation

said to her husband, 'Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way

around the house?'He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?'

The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe

all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately.'

Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

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

'Yes, the blonde replied, and I even had paint left over, so I

gave it two coats.'

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and

handed it to her along with a ten dollar tip.

'And by the way,' the blonde added, 'it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus.'
