"Son, I just know you'll do the right thing by this little girl," said the preacher. "You just marry her, and you'll be at the end of
your troubles."

So he did the right thing, and he married the girl, and
about six months later when he saw the preacher again
he tried to murder him.

"You miserable liar!" shouted the young man. "You told me
if I married her, I would be at the end of my troubles.
Well, I married her, and she has made my life miserable."

"That may be true, son, but you can't blame me," replied
the minister. "I said you'd be at the end of your troubles,
but I never said which end."
