A joke for today.
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 up with 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
me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat
just like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn come to church every
Sunday I also
knew that McGlynn had to take off his hat during Mass and
figured he would
leave it in the back of church. I was going to leave right 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 me hat."
