Tough Ice Fishing

"Painting Job"

A woman answered the knock at her door and
found a destitute man. He wanted to earn money
by doing odd jobs, so she asked, "Can you paint?"

"Yes," he said, "I'm a pretty good painter."

"Well, here's a gallon of green paint and a brush.
Go behind the house and you'll see a porch that
needs repainting. Be very careful. When you're
done, I'll look it over and pay you what it's worth."

It wasn't more than an hour before he knocked again.
"All finished!" he reported with a smile.

"Did you do a good job?" she asked.

"Yes, but lady, there's one thing I'd like to point
out to you. That's not a Porsche back there.
That's a Mercedes!"

"Tough Ice Fishing"

There were two old boys who love to fish, and they
wanted to do some ice fishing. They'd heard about
it up in Canada, and they took off up there. The lake
was frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got
to the lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle.
One of them said, "We're going to need an ice pick."

So they got that, and they took off. In about two hours,
one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're going
to need another dozen ice picks." Well, the fellow in the
shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He
sold him the picks, and the old boy left.

In about an hour, he was back. Said, "We're going to
need all the ice picks you've got."

The fellow couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way,"
he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"

"Not very well at all," he said. "We don't even have the
boat in the water yet."
