A woman looking to earn some extra money was walking around a wealthy neighborhood offering her services for odd jobs. At the very first house, a well-to-do homeowner stepped out to greet her.
“Do you have any quick tasks I could do for you, sir?” she asked.
The man thought for a moment. “Well, you can paint my porch. How much would you charge for that?”
“How about fifty dollars?” she suggested.
Thinking it was an absolute steal, the man quickly agreed and told her that all the paint, brushes, and rollers were ready for her out in the garage.
Inside the house, the man’s wife looked up worriedly. “Honey, does she realize our porch wraps entirely around the house?”
The man chuckled confidently. “Of course she does, dear. She was literally standing right on it when we spoke.”
Less than an hour later, the woman knocked on the front door, covered in splatters of fresh paint and ready to collect her cash.
The man was stunned. “You’re finished already?”
“Oh, yes,” she smiled proudly, flipping her hair back. “It was quite easy, actually. In fact, I had so much leftover paint that I even gave it a thorough second coat.”
Impressed by her incredible speed, the man happily pulled a fifty-dollar bill from his wallet and handed it over.
As she pocketed the cash, the woman smiled and added:
“Oh, and by the way, sir… you might want to check your terminology. That’s not a porch out there in your driveway. It’s a Ferrari.”
