STEVE
BTW, The Economist had an article last week saying that people
habitually lied about how often they went to church. Of course, if they
bothered to attend church, they would become much better moral citizens
and learn that it is wrong to lie about how often you go to church.

MATT
Reminds of the minister who was a bit unhappy about his congregations
attention span at his sermons, so one Sunday at the conclusion of his
meeting he asks them all if they would please all read the 17th chapter of
Mark's Gospel for the following Sunday's service. Around comes the Sunday
and he asks them how many had read it, nearly all the hands go up and he
says, OK, this morning's service will be on honesty, there are only 16
chapters in Mark.'

Thanks
Matt
