One day, Mark Twain read an announcement of his death in a newspaper. He hastened to the editor to protest.
"I am very sorry," the editor replied. "It's a terrible mistake, but it's too late to do much about it. The best thing I can do for you is to put you in the Birth Column tomorrow morning and give you a new start."
