That reminds me of a story about a homeless guy in Georgia someone once told
me.  It seems the fellow walked up to the front door of a wealthy farmhouse
and rang the bell.  When the woman of the house answered he asked, "Ma'am,
Ah'm hungry but Ah'm too proud to go a-beggin'.  Do y'all got some work Ah
kin do and earn me some dinner from y'all?"

The haughty farmer's wife said, "You get off my porch.  Go around back of
the house.  Maybe my husband will give you something to do."  With that she
slammed the door.

The fellow walked around to the back and asked the same thing of the
husband.  Looking down his nose at the hobo, he said, "Oh, alright!  Take
this bucket of green paint, go to the front of the house paint my porch.
Come back here when you finish and I'll have the maid give you a sandwich."

The hobo did as he was told.  After about fifteen minutes he came back and
reported he was done, but "Mistuh, that ain't no porch.  That there's a
jaguar!"  :^)
