Sardar handyman

A Sardar, recently arrived in the US , wants to earn some money and decides to become a handyman. He wanders out to an upmarket
residential area nearby and knocks on the first door he sees.
The owner opens the door. The Sardarji is delighted to see that he is an Indian too, and asks him if he has any odd jobs that he could give him to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch", the owner says. "How much will you charge?"
The Sardar ponders and then says, "How about $50?"
"Fine", the owner says. "There's a can of brown paint and brushes in the garage."

The owner's wife, overhearing the conversation from inside the house, asks her husband, "Does he realize that the porch goes all around the house? That's a whole day's job."

The man replies, "He should, he was standing on it! Do you think he's dumb?"

"No", the wife said, "I don't think so. I guess I'm just influenced by those stupid Sardar e-mail jokes we keep receiving."

A short while later, the Sardar comes to the door and asks for the $50.
"You've finished already?" the husband asks, surprised.

"Yes," he replies, "and there was paint left over, so I gave it two coats."

Impressed, the man reaches into his pocket for the money and hands it to the Sardar.
"Thank you! And by the way," the Sardar adds, "it's not a Porch, it's a BMW!
