well just a place to learn about a person that has unusual thoughts about what goes on in the life of an every day commoner.

There was a painter called Jock, who was very interested in making a pound wherever he could. So, he often would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.As it happened, he got away with this for some time but, eventually, the Presbyterian Church decided to do a big restoration job on the roof of one of their biggest churches. Jock put in a bid and because his price was so competitive, he got the job.So he set to it, with a right good will, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks, and buying the paint and ... yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with the turpentine.Well, Jock was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky opened and the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church and knocking Jock fair 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 fell on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke: "Repaint! Repaint and thin no more!"
