I recently read of a policeman who pulled a car over and told the driver he had won $5,000 dollars

When it comes to sin we should adapt the motto of Billy Sunday who said, "I'm against sin. As long as I've got a foot, I'll kick it. As long as I've got a fist, I'll fight it. As long as I've got a head, I'll butt it. As long as I've got a tooth, I'll bite it. And, when I'm old and fist-less, and foot-less, and tooth-less, I'll gum it until I go home to ...
