[b]Painting the Porch[/b][b][/b]
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 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 lately."
An hour or so later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
'You're finished already?' the startled husband asked.
'Yes, the blonde replied, a nd I even had lots of 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.
'Oh! And by the way,' the blonde added, 'it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus.'
