Hare Krishna --

 

 

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 and 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!"
