Stanley and Ollie have been hired to paint a wall, but their simple little job has already turned into a complete disaster. ????????
Stan: “Ollie, I think the paint is going on very nicely.”
Ollie: “Stanley, you just painted my face!”
Stan: “Oh, did I?”
Ollie: “YES! Look at me!”
Stan: “I think it suits you.”
Ollie: “It does NOT suit me!”
Stan: “Perhaps you should sit still.”
Ollie: “I was sitting perfectly still until you attacked me with that brush!”
Stan: “I wasn't attacking you.”
Ollie: “Then what were you doing?”
Stan: “Painting.”
Ollie: “You were supposed to paint the wall!”
Stan: “I was getting to the wall.”
Ollie: “You have been painting everything except the wall!”
Stan: “That's not true.”
Ollie: “What have you painted?”
Stan: “The ladder.”
Ollie: “Yes.”
Stan: “The floor.”
Ollie: “Yes!”
Stan: “The bucket.”
Ollie: “Yes!”
Stan: “Your trousers.”
Ollie: “YES!”
Stan: “And now your face.”
Ollie: “Exactly!”
Stan: “So you see? I'm making excellent progress.”
Ollie: “Stanley, give me that brush!”
Stan: “Why?”
Ollie: “Because you're fired!”
Stan: “But who will finish the job?”
Ollie: “I will!”
Stan: “Are you sure?”
Ollie: “Absolutely.”
Stan: “All right.”
Ollie: “Now hand me the brush.”
Stan: “Here.”
Ollie: “Thank you.”
Stan: “You're welcome.”
Ollie: “Stanley…”
Stan: “Yes?”
Ollie: “Why is there paint dripping from the ceiling?”
Stan: “Oh, I forgot to tell you.”
Ollie: “Tell me WHAT?”
Stan: “I painted upstairs first.”
Ollie: “THERE IS NO UPSTAIRS!”
Stan: “Well, that explains the problem.”
