Emma and I in Derby
Emma, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out as a "Handywoman" and started canvassing my neighbourhood.
She went to the front door of my house, and asked me if I had any odd jobs for her to do.
"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," I said, "How much will you charge me?"
Emma quickly responded, "How about £50?"
I agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need was in the garage.
My wife, hearing the conversation, said to me, "Does she realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?"
I responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"
The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those 'dumb blonde' jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately, and she does seem a bit thick on Saddo's Boxing forum."
A short time later, Emma came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied, "and I had paint leftover, so I gave it two coats."
Impressed, I reached into my pocket for the £50 and handed it to her.
"And by the way," Emma added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus".
