I should have been ready!
The young minister was in the pulpit for the first time and she was a little nervous. She read the text: "Behold I Come." The sermon was to follow immediately, but her mind went blank, and she repeated the text: "Behold I Come," hoping to remember the opening words of the sermon but with no success. Trying to be nonchalant, she leaned forward as she repeated the text for the third time. Under her weight the pulpit gave way and she landed in the lap of one of the elders. "I'm awfully sorry," she said much embarrassed. "I really didn't mean for this to happen."

The man smiled kindly and replied, "Oh, that's all right. I should have been ready after you warned me three times."
