If By Mistake A minister and lawyer were chatting at a party: "What do you do if you make a mistake on a case?" the minister asked. "Try to fix it if it's big; ignore it if it's insignificant," replied the lawyer. "What do you do?" The minister replied "Oh, more or less the same. Let me give you an example. The other day I meant to say 'The devil is the father of liars.', but instead I said 'The devil is the father of lawyers.' So I let it go." Thanks to Mary Campbell
