Paint it...

Forwarded with subject: Paint it...

A wealthy man was relaxing in his home on a Saturday afternoon when someone knocked on his front door. Opening it, he saw a young Mexican who explained he was looking for work. The man thought for a minute and asked if he had any experience painting. Being assured that he knew all about it, he gave the Mexican some paint and a brush and asked him to go around to the back of the house and paint the porch. "Let me know when you're done and I'll pay you $25."

About an hour later the Mexican returned, announced he had finished painting and was paid $25. Turning to leave, he hesitated and said, "It's really none of my business, but you don't have a Porsche...its a Mercedes-Benz."
