Not Your Average Painter
An ambitious young man, not always known for his street smarts, was in need of money and decided to hire himself out as a handyman. He began going door-to-door, canvassing a wealthy neighborhood for work. He went to the front door of the first house and asked the elderly owner if he had any jobs for him to do.
“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”
The young man said, “How about 50 dollars?” The older man agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the garage. A short time later, the young man came to the door to collect the
money. “You’re finished already?” he asked.
“Yep! And I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.” Impressed, the older man reached in his pocket for the $50. “And by the way,” the young man added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”
