Painting Lines

Community Service

A blonde was sentenced to a couple of weeks of community service for a small crime she committed. Once assigned to a supervisor, he explained to her that her job was to paint the yellow line in the middle of the road. Her quota was two miles a day. By the end of the first day, the blonde had painted four miles of yellow lines. The supervisor was very impressed and complimented her on a job well done. By the end of the second day, she had done a little over two miles. The supervisor was satisfied because at least she met her quota. By the end of the third day, she had only painted half a mile of yellow lines. The supervisor approached her to ask why she did so little compared to the previous two days. The blonde replied, "Well, I put the paint bucket at the start of the road, and the further I paint, the longer it takes to walk back to the bucket to dip my paintbrush."
