It was a hot and humid August afternoon when I decided to visit my girl friend, Susie. Blonde, beautiful and resourceful, Susie had decided to repaint her kitchen herself, instead of hiring a professional.

I thought she might appreciate a break and brought over some cold drinks and some sandwiches.

When I arrived, I found Susie working hard, painting the kitchen walls.

To my utter amazement, instead of wearing old clothes, she was wearing her fur coat and her ski parka. I asked her why she was dressed that way on such a hot day.

She brought me the paint bucket and told me to read the instructions.

I did.

There was the explanation for me in black and white. It said:

"For best results, put on two coats."
