Gracie getting her house painted
The GIST of it goes something like this:
Gracie: Why are you writing things down on that paper instead of painting?
Painter: I'm trying to figure out how much the job will cost.
Gracie: Ok. How much will it be?
Painter: That depends on whether you want to put on 2 coats or not.
Gracie:
Maybe if you paint it in your shirt sleeves instead it would be cheaper?
