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, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had 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."
 
There's one thing -- at least, a few of the congeration could've pointed out that they DID try to look for Mark 17 and mention that it only came up to Mark 16. That won't count as lying, won't it?
