A police captain, wanting to earn some money to pay his alimony, decided to hire himself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. He went to the front door of the first house, explained he was an off-duty police captain, who was looking to earn a little extra cash and asked the owner if he had any jobs for him to do.
“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?” The captain said, “How about 50 dollars?” The man agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the garage. The man’s wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, “Does he realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?” The man replied, “He should. He was standing on the porch. Besides, he’s a police captain! Those guys know everything!”
A short time later, the captain came to the door to collect his money. “You’re finished already?” he asked. “Yes,” the captain answered, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. I’m an administrator so I know how to adequately use my resources.” Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. “And by the way,” the captain added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”
