After the sermon was over, one member of the congregation
had lingered after the other members had shook hands
with the minister on their way out. The minister recognized
the young man as one whom he had married a couple of
months before.
As the young man shook hands with the minister, he asked, "Reverend,
do you believe someone should profit from the mistakes
of others?"
"Certainly not," replied the preacher.
"Well...in that case...could I have the $50 back that
I gave you for marrying me?"
