A woman, trying to better herself decides she is going to go to college. She reads the phamplets and realizes she needs a lot of money to attend college.
So she sits and thinks for hours on how to raise money. She decides she will follow in her father and brothers' footsteps and paint for people.
She sets out with the last of her daily coffee money and buys paints, brushes, rollers, pans, and a painters hat. She then begins knocking on every door asking if people need anything painted. She explains why she is doing it and explains that they will set the price, she will take any amount.
After the first day she hasn't painted anything yet, no takers. But being a stubborn woman she sets out again on the second day... being smart she heads to the upper class district.
She walks up a long driveway to a huge 9 bedroom house and a porch that wraps completely around the first story. She knocks on the door and a man answers the door. He listens to her story and thinks for a moment. He says to her that his entire porch needs a good painting, and asks if she has enough paint to do a correct job of 3 coats of paint. She looks around at her equipment, and tells the man, "yes I do, and if I don't I will get the rest that I would need, but I should have enough with me."
The man tells her he will give her 500 bucks to paint the porch. She happily agrees and he goes back inside. The mans wife asked what it was all about at the door, and the man says "I got some woman to paint the porch for 500 bucks!"
The wife exclaims "My word! That is a TON of work dear, do you think 500 is enough?"
About 2 hours later there is a knock at his door. The woman covered in paint and tired says proudly "Your job is complete, sir! That will be 500 dollars"
The man says "That was very fast, are you sue you put 3 coats of paint on the porch?"
The woman replies "Yes indeed sir, and as I am a very smart college bound woman I must tell you to avoid further embarrasment behind your back when you go out..."
The man is curious and says "Embarrassment when I go out?"
To which the woman quickly replies "Yes sir, you see, its a Lexus, not a Porch"
