Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down
when he saw him. Murphy had never been seen in church in his
life. After Mass,the priest caught 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 my hat and I really, really love that hat. I knew that
McGlynn had one just like mine and I knew that McGlynn came to
church every Sunday. I also knew that McGlynn had 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 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 than burn in Hell,right?" Murphy shook his head and said, "No,
Father, after you talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I
remembered where I left my hat."
