A boat painter was awarded the job of painting a small
sail boat and when he was asked by the owner, how long
it would take him to finish the job, he replied, "Two
weeks".

Three weeks went by and the owner, a little concerned
about the delay, confronted the painter.

"Hey Carl", said the owner, "You told me that it would
take you two weeks to paint my boat and it's been three
weeks....What's up with that?"

The painter put his paintbrush down, looked the owner
square in the eye and said, "That was two NAUTICAL weeks,
like a nautical mile, they're a little longer".
