Self-Inflicted Stupidity

An anonymous critic once sent a letter to minister Henry Ward Beecher. The letter contained only a single word: "Fool."

No preacher ever received a better set-up line, and Beecher made the most of it. "I have known many an instance of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name," he told his congregation that Sunday. "But this is the only instance I've ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write his letter."
