OverpaidA building contractor was being paid by the week. One day he approached the owner of the property and held up the check he'd been given ``This is two hundred dollars less than we agreed on,'' he said ``I know,'' the owner said, '`But last week I overpaid you two hundred dollars, and you never complained'' The contractor said, ``Well, I don't mind an occasional mistake. But when it gets to be a habit, I feel I have to call it to your attention''
