A man was in desperate need of a road painter, so he hired a blonde for the job. The instructions were simple: paint the yellow stripes down the center of the road and make sure to cover at least four miles a day.
On the first day, she absolutely crushed it—eight miles! The boss was stunned. “Wow! This is incredible. She’s a natural!”
The second day, she slowed down a bit but still managed to paint four miles—right on target. The boss shrugged it off. “Still good. She’s keeping pace.”
On the third day, however, she only covered two miles. The boss scratched his head. “Hmm… weird. Maybe she’s just tired.”
By the fourth day, she barely managed one mile. Now the boss was downright puzzled. He finally approached her, frustration creeping into his voice.
“Hey, what’s going on? You started off strong, but every day you’re slowing down more and more!”
The blonde wiped the sweat from her brow, sighed heavily, and said, “Well, I keep getting farther and farther away from the paint bucket!”
