A minister announced that he would be preparing a sermon on lying the following week and asked the congregation, "I would like you all to read the entire chapter of Mark 17 in preparation for next week's sermon."
The following Sunday, before the sermon, he asked, "How many of you read Mark 17 this week to prepare for this sermon?" Nearly everyone raised their hand.
The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only 16 chapters! Now I'll proceed with my sermon on lying."
