Painting Partners

Peter and Jim were partners in a profitable painting-contracting business. Unfortunately, they weren't entirely honest, because they mixed their paint with water.

One day Jim's conscience started to bother him as they painted a poor widow's house. The next day Jim told Peter he just couldn't be dishonest anymore.

- Don't quit now, - Peter begged.

- A few more jobs and we can retire.

Jim refused to change his mind.

- Peter, - he said.

- I just can't do it. Last night an angel stood by my bed and said - 'Repaint, repaint... you thinner.'
