Painting the Porch
A Essex girl, wanting to earn some extra money, 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?”
The blonde quickly responded, “How about £50?”
The man agreed and told her that the paint and
everything she would need were 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 “Essex girl” jokes we’ve been
getting by e-mail lately.”
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to
collect her money.
“You’re finished already?” the husband asked.
“Yes,” the blonde replied, “and I 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.
“And by the way,” the blonde added, “it’s not a Porch,
it’s a Lexus.”
