A minister told his congregation, „Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17.”
The following Sunday, the minister asked for a show of hands from those who read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, „Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.”
The shabbes service finishes and the congregation is invited to a kiddush in the shul hall. During the kiddush, Morris goes over to Rabbi Bloom, shakes his hand and says, „Rabbi, you gave a good sermon today – you should have it published.”
„Thank you,” says Rabbi Bloom, „but just between you and me, I’m planning to have all my sermons published posthumously.”
„That’s good news,” says Morris, „and the sooner the better.”
