Jim arrives home to find his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.  He rushes over and rouses her.  It’s then that he notices that she’s wearing a parka and a mink.

“Are you okay?  What are you doing?”  he asks.

“You’ve been promising to paint the living room for months now,” she explains groggily.  “I wanted to prove that I could do just as good a job as you, and faster too.”

“Well, it does look like you did a good job,” Jim says, looking around.  “But why are you all bundled up?”

“I know how to read,” she snaps.  “The can said, ‘For best results put on two coats.’”
