My Leg Went Through Your Roof, Sir

A man offers to clean gutters for a small fee. After he is finished, he pulls pieces of rotten wood out of his pocket and presents them. He claims that the entire roof is rotting and needs replacing. Usually he says, "My leg went completely through it." He says he can have a crew there in minutes to repair the roof. The rotten wood is from the woods nearby. The crew comes and lays new shingles over a perfectly sound roof. They demand $7000 to $8000.
