The Dead Painter

A detective was called to investigate the death of a house painter. The case seemed pretty open-and-shut... it appeared the painter had broken his neck after falling from his ladder. But, just to be thorough, the detective asked around to see if there were any witnesses to the tragedy.

A young boy replied that he had, indeed, witnessed the death. The detective asked him, "Did you see how he died?"

"Yes sir," the boy replied. "He died because he took the Lord's name in vain."

The detective was confused. "How did he die from that? What did he say?"

"He said, 'HEY KID, QUIT SHAKING THE GODDAMNED LADDER!'"
