While Painting The Church Tower

The tower on the old church, which is very high, was being painted on a rather hot day. The painter was about half way down, and as the tower was widening out, was taking more paint. The painter felt that he might not have enough paint to finish.

Since he was hot and tired, and did not care to make another trip to the ground, he decided to stretch the amount of paint by adding some paint thinner to it. When finished, he lowered himself to the ground and went about cleaning up.

Then he looked up to see the results of his work and noted that the area with the thinned paint looked decidedly different. He was pondering about what to do about it when the sky turned dark and there was a lightning flash and loud thunderclap.

And a loud booming voice, from the sky came with the words, "REPAINT AND THIN NO MORE."
