$ 15 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?"

>

>"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."

>

>"Oh my Goodness!," 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 learned from a friend he has run

>off to Hawaii with his secretary and really doesn't intend to come

>back. He claimed he was stranded and asked me to sell his new Porsche

>and send him the money. So I did."

>

>(Are women good or what?)
