A poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks, wanting to earn some money, started canvassing a well-to-do Republican neighborhood for work. He went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if there were any odd jobs for him to do.
"Well, I was getting ready to paint my porch," he said, "how much will you charge me?"
The boy, without looking about, responded, "How about $10.00?"
The man agreed and told the lad that the paint and other materials that he might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does that poor boy realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
Chuckling to himself the greedy Republican replied, "Well, he was standing right on it. I guess he's desperate for cash."
A short time later, the boy came to the door to collect his money.
"You're finished already?" the Republican asked.
"Yes," the boy replied, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats."
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $10.00 and handed it to the lad.
"And by the way," the boy added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."
