The church steeple was 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 and taking more paint, he felt he might not have enough to finish the job. Since he was hot and tired and didn't relish another trip down to the ground, he decided to stretch the paint by adding more thinners.

When he had finished, he lowered himself to the ground and began to clean up. He looked up to see the result of his work and noticed that the area where he had used the thinned paint, looked decidedly different. He was wondering what he should do when the skies darkened and a voice boomed out, "REPAINT, AND THIN NO MORE!"
