[SIZE=9pt]Subject: Painting the porch[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]decided to hire herself out as a 'handy-woman' and started canvassing a[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]nearby well-to-do neighborhood.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]had any odd jobs for her to do.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said, ''How[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]much will you charge me?'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Delighted, the girl quickly responded, 'How about $50?'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]would need was in the garage.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, 'Does she[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately.'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]'You're finished already?' the startled husband asked.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]'Yes' the blonde replied 'and I even had paint left over, so I gave it[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]two coats.'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to her along with a ten dollar tip.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]'And by the way, ' the blonde added, 'it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus.[/SIZE]
