There is the tale of the visiting minister who was preaching morning and 
evening in the same church.  When he got there in the morning he 
realised he had left his sermon back where he was staying. When he got 
in the pulpit he told of his predicament and said "I will have to preach 
as the Spirit gives me utterance, but this evening I hope to do better." :-)
