Paint Your Own House
Once upon a time in a small town there lived a house painter who was sought after by anyone who needed homes or business painted. He was that good!  As the story goes, there was this couple that purchased an old historic home. It needed a serious paint job. So the couple called this well sought out painter. They became impatience with getting his voice mail so they decided to call on him in person…at his home.

After entering the street, the painter lived on…they circle the block twice as they could not find his house. So they stop, knocked on a resident door and the neighbor confirmed the address is correct. The couple then walked across the street and rang the doorbell. The painter answered and welcomed them in.

As the painter was preparing the couple a hot beverage, the couple informed him that they passed his house twice. This was because it looked so terrible on the outside. The wife said: Why don’t you paint your house?. The painter simply smiled and replied: “And when do I have time to do this when I have customer like you that need my help?”
