Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down
when he saw him.
Murphy had never been seen in a church in his life.
After Mass, the priest caught up with Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am
so glad you decided to come to Mass. What made you come?
Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I
misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had
a hat like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn comes to church every Sunday. I also
knew that McGlynn would have to take off his hat during Mass, and I
figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave
right after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that you didn't steal
McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"
Murphy said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10
Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After I talked about
'Thou Shalt Not Steal', you decided you would rather do without your
hat, right ?"
Murphy shook his head and said, "No, Father, after you
talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," I remembered where I
left me hat."
