A woman down on her luck is walking through a well-to-do neighborhood looking for odd jobs to do when she approaches this one 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 women says, "Sure anything."
The man replies, "Well, I have been wanting my porch painted, how much would you charge?"
Responding quickly, "I don't know, say $50 bucks."
To the man's delight, "Sounds good. Go ahead and get started."
He closes the door and walks back inside. His wife asks him, "Who was at the door?"
He tells her of the women and her situation and then told his wife that the women agreed to paint the porch for $50 bucks.
The astonished wife says, "$50 bucks, but that porch goes the full length of our house and then some. It will be at least a few hours job. You really should pay her more."
He responds, "But that's all she said she wanted."
10 minutes later, they get a knock on the door. The man answers the door and the women is there and she says, "That she's done."
With a surprised look on his face, "I can't believe it, you're already done painting the entire porch."
"Yes, and by the way it's not a porch it's a Ferrari."
