It turns out the painters were a couple of brothers (ed. note: biological, not spiritual) who had started a business. The man welcomed them to his home, showed them what he wanted to have done, and left to go shopping. After he had left, one painter said to the other, "Think he'll be gone long enough?" The second painter agreed, "Sure. Let's do it!" They proceeded to dilute the paint to 1/2 its concentration with water, and finished the job with the new mixture. The house looked wonderful, though it wouldn't weather very well nor last long. The pair smiled at each other wickedly when the man returned home and paid their "fair" price for the work. They were about to drive off in their van when clouds formed overhead, lightning flashed, and a booming voice that was even deeper than James Earl Jones's said ominously, "YOU WICKED MEN!! REPAINT, AND THIN NO MORE!!!" (remember, someone asked for this)
