Ah Beng, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire
himself out as a handyman and started canvassing a
wealthy neighborhood. He went to the front door of the
first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for
him to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much
will you charge?" Beng said "How about 50 dollars?"
The man agreed and told him that the paint and ladders
that he might need were in the garage. The man's wife,
inside the house, heard the conversation and said to
her husband, "Does he realize that the porch goes all
the way around the house?" The man replied, "He
should. He was standing on the porch." A short time
later, Ah Beng came to the door to collect his money.
"You're finished
already?" he asked. "Yes," Ah Beng answered, "and I
had paint left over, so I gave it two coats."
Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"And by the way," Ah Beng added, "that's not a Porch,
it's a Fellali."
