Murphy showed up at Church one Sunday; Father Ryan almost fell over when he saw him. Murphy had never been to Church in his life.
After the church service, Father Ryan caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Church. What made ya 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 just like mine and I knew he came to Church every Sunday."
"I also knew that he had to take off his hat during the service and 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 ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"
Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your Sermon on the Ten Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."
With a tear in his eye Father Ryan gave Murphy a big smile, grabbed both his hands and said, "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you'd rather do without your hat than burn in Hell?"
Murphy slowly shook his head.
"No, Father. After ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery', I remembered where I left me hat."
