The Lost Hat

[jimras]

A man loses his hat, so he goes to church to steal one off of the hat rack. When

he gets there, the priest is giving his sermon on the Ten Commandments.

Something in the sermon gives the man a flash of insight and, after mass, the

man goes to confession to tell the priest what he was going to do.

"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned."

"Go ahead, son."

"I lost my hat and I came to church today to steal a hat off of the rack."

"Is that so?"

"But then I heard you talking about the Ten Commandments and I changed my mind."

"Really? My son, did you make this decision when I was discussing the

commandment, 'Thou shalt not steal'?"

"Not exactly. It was when you started talking about 'Thou shalt not commit

adultery' that I remembered where my hat was!"
