*File Description: Repainting The Steeple*


 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 !".
