An elderly man was quite unhappy because he
had lost his
favorite hat.
Instead of buying a
new one, he
decided he would go to church and swipe one out of the
vestibule. When
he
got there, an usher intercepted him at the door and took him to a
pew
where he had to sit
and listen to the entiresermon on “The
Ten Commandments.” After
church, the man met
the preacher in the
vestibule doorway, shook his had vigorously, and
told him “I want
to
thank you preacher for saving my soul today. I came to church to
steal
a hat and after
hearing your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I
decided against it.”
Preacher: “You mean the commandment ‘I shall
not steal’ changed your
mind?”
Old Man: “No, the one about
adultery did.
As soon as you said that I remember where I left my old
hat!”
