Gone to Sea

A nearsighted minister glanced at the note that Mrs. Jones had sent
to him by an usher.

The note read: "Bill Jones having gone to sea, his wife desires the
prayers of the congregation for his safety."

Failing to observe the punctuation, he startled his audience by
announcing: "Bill Jones, having gone to see his wife, desires the
prayers of the congregation for his safety."
