The other day at the library I came accross the Mark Twain book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Mark Twain as we know had a sense of humor and he jokingly had at the beginning "Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted, persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished, persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot."

The book also it on the back cover. I remembered when my oldest son was eight we were at the library and he read this part that was on the back cover and took it seriously. (Remember he was only eight) He showed it to me and said "Man Dad. There is no way I am going to read this book."
