Spanking, by Margaret Atwood

According to today’s Guardian, she has a sense of humour. Here’s a joke she told at the Hay-on-Wye literary festival:
A prostitute is having a weekly special. She will do anything for $100 as long as you say it in three words.
A Frenchman comes and says, “Anything I want? Suck my toes.” She does it, and money is exchanged.
An Englishman comes and says, “Spank my bottom.” Done.
A Canadian comes and says, “Anything I want? Hey! Paint my house.”
I bet you didn’t know that house-painting was seen as ever so slightly transgressive in Canada.
