"Painting"
There's a guy named Wally who applies for a job
to paint the stripes down the middle of the street.
He's real enthusiastic and gets the job.
The first day, Wally painted ten miles of streets.
The boss was impressed. The second day, he
painted 8 miles. The boss thought that was still
good. The third day, he painted 5 miles; and the
fourth day, he only painted 2 miles. The boss
asked Wally why he's painting less and less
each day.
Wally said, "Because the paint bucket is getting
further and further away!"

"Painter"
A ba'al tshuvah (newly observant) house painter
was meeting with his Rebbe during the Days of
Awe, and wondering how he could correct his
previous misdeeds.
"Rebbe, I've done awful things as a painter.
I've done sloppy jobs, used inferior quality
paints and lied about it, I cut my paints with
turpentine, and cut corners. How can I make
up for these evil deeds that I've committed
in a previous life?"
The Rebbe thought for a while, looked at the
painter and then pronounced:
"Repaint, Repaint, and thin no more."
