Murphy's hat.
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 know 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.
