Greetings Saints in Jesus name!
I've heard a slightly different version of this particular
nyuk, nyuk... this one is still a good one....

The church steeple in Port Gibson is very high and was being painted
on a rather hot day. The painter was about half way down and, as the
steeple 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. Then in a
loud, booming voice from the sky came the words, "REPAINT AND THIN NO
MORE!".
