> A young pastor was preparing a sermon.  He was afraid that his mind might go 
> blank and he wouldn't remember what to say.  An older pastor advised him to 
> just repeat what he said before the memory lapse and emphasize it.  Sure 
> enough, his mind went blank during this sermon, and, standing back a little 
> from the pulpit and stepping forward, he repeated this sentence: "Behold, I 
> come quickly!"  Still, he couldn't think of what to say next.  He stepped 
> farther back from the pulpit and moved toward it more quickly.  Again, he 
> said, "Behold, I come quickly!"  Still, he was lost.  He backed even farther 
> away from the pulpit, ran toward it, and crashed into it, spilling books, 
> bibles and papers.  He fell head first into a lady's lap.
> 
> "Oh, oh, I'm so so sorry!  I'm so sorry!" he cried.

> "That's okay," she said, "You warned me three times."
