A hapless hobo comes to the front door of a neat looking farmhouse and raps gently on the door.
Soon, the well-dressed owner of the farm answers, "Yes, what is it?"
The hobo begs, "Please, sir, could you give me something to eat? I haven't had a good meal in several days."
The farm owner sternly says, "I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for people. I've never given anything away for nothing. However, if you go around to the back, you will see a gallon of gray paint and a clean paint brush. If you will paint my porch at the back of the house, I will give you a good meal."
So the hobo gladly agrees and quickly goes around back. Soon afterwards, he again knocks on the door.
The owner smiles, "Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down. The cook will bring your meal right in."
After the hobo finishes a grand meal he turns to the farm owner and says, Thank you very much, sir... By the way, there's something that I think you should know. That's not a Porche you've got back there. It's a BMW."
