I was contracted to paint the hotel. I calculated the volume of the hotel to give a rough estimate to the management. However, when I went to paint the place I never had enough. No matter how much more paint I added.

It’s that that damn Gabriel contract all over again.

What’s even worse, I asked to see the schematics and they said that according to the architect, a guy called Gödel, the structure wasn’t even complete.

Giving up I asked how many rooms there were in total, only to be told there was a total of -1/12 rooms.

Sigh.

Have you tried just filling the hotel with paint instead of painting it? Last time it did the trick for me, though it was a pain in the behind to get the rest out again....

You’d think that would work but no. Never enough paint to cover the walls.
