Todays's Porsche joke

I found this on the web...thought I'd pass it along...


A man was reading the paper when an ad caught his eye: $500 Porsche! New! The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Porsche for $500, and he thought it might be a joke, but thought it was worth a shot. So he went to the lady's house and sure enough, she had an almost brand new Porsche.
"Wow!" the man said. "Can I take it for a test drive?" Unlike what he expected, the man found that the car ran perfectly and took it back to the lady's house.
"Why are you selling me this great Porsche for only $500?"
"My husband just ran off with his secretary, and he told me I could have the house and the furniture as long as I sold his Porsche and sent him the money."

You know I heard that one a long time ago when I was in a barber shop getting my hair cut, I think I was maybe 10 or 12 at the time. Except it was $50. I was thinking to myself when I heard the story boy that guy got a super deal. Since then I have heard the story about 5 times. I'm sure once in awhile it might be true. Keep an eye on those women they are evil.
P.S. I was going to say "That joke is so old that cap n' crunch was a private when it came out."

Last year there was a TV commercial with the same plot. The jilted wife sold the (some muscle car) and sent the $10 to the husband and his sweetie in Hawaii.

I think that when that story first appeared it was a brand new Model T and the biatch sold it for a nickel.

A young blond woman was looking to make some extra money doing odd jobs around the neighborhood. She stopped at one house and asked if there was anything she could do to earn some money. "Well, how much would you charge to paint my porch?" the man asked. "How does $50.00 sound?" she replied. "Great, I'll go in the garage and get the paint and brushes and you can start right now!" 1/2 hour later, the blonde knocked on the front door. "That was awfully quick" the mans wife said. The man opened the front door and the blonde exclaimed, "I'm all finished, and even did two coats!" As the man reached into his pocket for the $50 she continued, "By the way, it's not a porch, it's a Lexus..."

edit: Oops, sorry PWD... I type too slow.

It's a GREAT way to harass other people. But the ad has to include"Day sleeper, must call between 1:00 and 4:00 A.M. If my rude brother answeres, hang up and call back!"

A hooker strolls up to a man stopped at a stoplight and purrs through the side window...

"You know, for a hundred dollars, I'll do ANYTHING...."

He says:

"OK, paint my house".
