Perplexed

"Perplexed"

A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up.
While doing this the clerk spots two penguins sitting on
the back seat of the car. He asks the driver, "What's up
with the penguins in the back seat?"

The man in the car says, "I found them. I asked myself
what to do with them but, I haven't a clue."

The clerk ponders a bit then says, "You should take them
to the zoo."

"Yeah, that's a good idea," says the man in the car and drives
away.

The next day the man with the car is back at the same gas station.
The clerk sees the penguins are still in the back seat of the car.

"Hey, they're still here! I thought you were going to take them to
the zoo!"

"Oh, I did," says the driver, "and we had a swell time. Today I'm
taking them to the beach."

"The English Language"

A woman down on her luck is walking through a well-to-do
neighborhood looking for odd jobs to do when she approaches
this one house. She goes up to the house, rings the bell and the
owner comes to the door.

He asks the lady what he can do for her. The lady tells him of her
situation, that she is down on her luck and wants to know if he has
any odd jobs that she could do. The man thinks about it for a second
and then remembers that he has been wanting his porch painted.

He asks the woman if she paints?
The women says, "Sure anything."

The man replies, "Well, I have been wanting my porch painted, how
much would you charge?"

Responding quickly, "I don't know, say $50 bucks."

To the man's delight, "Sounds good. Go ahead and get started."

He closes the door and walks back inside. His wife asks him,
"Who was at the door?"

He tells her of the women and her situation and then told his wife
that the women agreed to paint the porch for $50 bucks.

The astonished wife says, "$50 bucks, but that porch goes the full
length of our house and then some. It will be at least a few hours
job. You really should pay her more."

He responds, "But that's all she said she wanted."

10 minutes later, they get a knock on the door. The man answers
the door and the women is there and she says, "That she's done."

With a surprised look on his face, "I can't believe it, you're
already done painting the entire porch."

"Yes, and by the way it's not a Porche; it's a Ferrari."
