THE PORSCHE

A fifteen year-old boy came home with a Porsche and
his parents began to yell and scream, "Where did you
get that car???!!!"

He calmly told them, "I bought it today."

"With what money?" demanded his parents. "We know what a Porsche costs."

"Well," said the boy, "this one cost me fifteen dollars."

So the parents began to yell even louder. "Who would
sell a car like that for fifteen dollars?" they said.

"It was the lady up the street," said the boy."I don't
know her name--they just moved in. She saw me ride
past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a
Porsche for fifteen dollars."

"Dear God," moaned the mother, "she must be a child
abuser. Who knows what she will do next? John, you
go right up there and see what's going on."

So the boy's father walked up the street to the house
where the lady lived and found her out in the yard
calmly planting petunias. He introduced himself as
the father of the boy to whom she had sold a
Porsche for fifteen dollars and demanded to know
why she did it.

"Well," she said, "this morning I got a phone call
from my husband. I thought he was on a business
trip, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his
secretary and doesn't intend to come back. He asked
me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money."
So I did."
