Painter Meets His Maker
A painter and decorator has been thinning down his paint for years, but charging his clients the full price.One day the vicar of the local church approaches him and asks him to paint the church. The painter and decorator thinks Yipeee - I'll make a fortune here, lots of paint to thin down. He's up the ladder painting away, thinking about how much money he is going to make when a storm sweeps in. A bolt of lightening hits him whilst he is on his ladder and he is thrown clear into the churchyard. A dark cloud moves above him and he fears that he is about to meet His Maker. He calls out and asks God what must he do to be given a second chance.
There is a roll of thunder and a voice booms from heaven - Re-paint, re-paint and thin no more!!
