> 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?" they ask. 
>  
>  "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." 
>  
>  "Dear God," 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.thought he was on a business trip, but 
>  it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary 
>  and doesn't intend to come back. He asked me to sell 
>  his new Porsche and send him the money." 
>    
>  "So I did."
