	There was this small church near Hastings, Ontario that was in
need of a paint job. The board decided to contract someone to do the
job and put an ad in the newspaper.
	The board received several replies, most of which were quoting
about $2000 for the job, but ther was one for $300 and the board decided
to check this one out. There person was in his mid-fifties and looked
competent so the board decided to  hire him.

	The man was painting away merrily when he realizes at the half
way point that he doesn't have enough paint. He (Phred) got out his  
paint thinner and dumped some in. 
	when Phred was 3/4 of the way done he had the same problem so
he dumped in more thinner.
	Now he only had one more 30 cm bit to do on the steeple but he
was almost out of paint. He dumped in the last of his thinner and 
barely finished the job. 

	At that point a rain storm appeared and washed all the paint away.

	A loud booming voice from above said 
	"REPAINT! REPAINT! AND THIN NO MORE!"
