She got the potato threw it on the floor saying "it's well you knew I had it".There was once a Minister who was very sick. He told the clerk to say to the people "Moses was an ostier man". The clerk said "Moses was an ister man". The Minister said "He made atonement for the sins of the people". The clerk said "He made an ointment for the shinns of the people". The Minister said "Ah you fool you spoiled it all". The clerk said "But the fools spilled it all".
