The owner of a posh house gets a handyman knocking on his door. The fella at the door says he is down on his luck and will do any basic gardening or simple tasks for a small fee.
The owner is clearly well off, but he hadn't always been so lucky, so he says "OK, you can paint the porch at the front of the house white, using the tin of paint in the shed, I'll give you £50 if you do a good job".
The fella finds the paint and a brush, and he gets to work, taking his time and trying not to leave brush marks.
When he's finished, he knocks on the door for his money.
The owner opens the door and says, "The porch clearly has not been painted!".
The fella says of course not sir, it's not a Porch, it's a Mercedes.
