Now that reminds ME of a scene from Mel Brooks' "History of the World, 
Part I":

Moses comes down from the mountain carrying three tablets: "Hear O 
Israel, I bring you these fifteen ..."

<One tablet slips from his grasp and shatters on the ground>

"... TEN commandments!"

Uhh, a positive expression of the Liar's Paradox, maybe?
