So there was this (racing driver) who -----

So Schumi and wife (adapt to suit your taste) was attending a charity
fete in town, when he was snagged by an enterprising boy scout
offering to do odd jobs for cash.

Schumi: Well, I guess we need the porch painted.
Lad: I'll do it for 50 euros.
Schumi: No way; 40 or nothing.
Lad: Okay, what's the address?
Schumi gives address and tells lad the paint and brushes are in the
shed, to use weatherproof gloss and to do a thorough job. "I'll be
back there in two hours to see how you're doing."
Lad hurtles off on bike.
Schumi's wife: Hey, the kid may not realize that our porch reaches
round two sides of the house; that's a huge job for 40 euros.
Schumi: Tough, let the kid learn that business if business.


One hour later the lad is back, spotted with paint, and asking for his
money.
Schumi: That was too fast
Lad: I got a mate to share the work, and we even did a second coat.
Schumi: Well I'm not paying a second wage, so 40 is what you get.


The lad pockets the cash and as he cycles off, yells back "By the way,
I don't think that WAS a porch; it looked more like a ferrari."

First time around I heard it, the painter was an Irishman, next time a
Pole, next time a blonde ... can't help wondering who it will be next.
