A painter accepted the task of painting a church steeple. He had 10 gallons of white paint. Half way down the steeple he had already used 6.5 gallons. He made sure no one was looking and then diluted the remaining paint with paint thinner.

He finished the job, cleaned his brush and rollers, and looked up to see that there were two distinct colors of white on the steeple.

"Oh, no!" he exclaimed, "What can I do now?"

A clap of thunder roared above him, and a booming voice was heard saying, "Repaint! And stop your thinning!"
