One Sunday morning, after attending church services in Hartford,
Connecticut, Mark Twain said to Dr. Doane, the minister: "I enjoyed
your services this morning, doctor. I welcomed it like an old friend. I
have, you know, a book at home containing every word of it."
"You have not," said the indignant Dr. Doane.
"I have so," countered Twain.
"Then send it to me. I'd very much like to see it."
"I'll send it," promised Mark and the following day he sent the
Reverend Dr. Doane an unabridged dictionary.

This is a list I got off usenet where someone wondered what kind of
messages a wordprocessor would give when exiting without saving the file
if the programmer was of one of various Christian denominations:
- Non-sectarian: Do you wish to Save your work?
- Roman-Catholic: Registry indicates user is female; only males are
allowed to Save.
- Anglican: Your work may or may not be Saved
- Lutherian: If you don't follow the instruction manual, don't expect
your work to be Saved.
- Mennonite: Document contains the word "dancing"; it cannot be Saved
- J. Witness: You are user 144,001; your work cannot be Saved
- Mormon: Could we interest you in Saving your work?
- Millenarian: It is almost too late to Save your work
- S. Baptist: If your work was not Saved, it is because you are evil.
- TV Preacher: This program has made mistakes in the past, but it will
try to Save *this* file.
- Born-again: Before Saving your work, this program will erase all
existing data. Proceed?
- Faith healers: If you believe your work will be Saved, it will be Saved.
