There was a tradesman, a painter called Jock, who
> was very interested
> in making a penny where he could, so he often
> would thin down paint to
> make it go a wee bit further.
>
> As it happened, he got away with this for some
> time, but eventually
> the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration
> job on the painting
> of one of their biggest buildings. Jock put in a
> bid, and because his
> price was so low, he got the job.
>
> And so he set to erecting the trestles and setting
> up the planks, and
> buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say,
> thinning it down with
> turpentine.
>
> Well, Jock was up on the scaffolding, painting
> away, the job nearly
> completed when suddenly there was a horrendous
> clap of thunder, and the sky opened, the rain poured down, washing the
> thinned paint from
> all over the church and knocking Jock clear off
> the scaffold to land
> on the lawn among the gravestones, surrounded by
> telltale puddles of
> the thinned and useless paint.
>
> Jock was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from
> the Almighty, so he got on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me!
> What should I do?"
> And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke...
