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?"
