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. <br /> <br />After Mass, the priest caught Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am so glad you decided to come to Mass, what made you come?<br /><br />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 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."<br /><br />The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that you didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"<br /><br />Murphy said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat."<br /><br />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?<br /><br /> <br />Murphy shook his head and said, "No, Father. After you talked about 'Thou shalt not commit adultery,' I remembered where I had left me hat."
