Sorry, I was thinking of a different Commandment...

James had never been to the church all his life. But he showed up one Sunday.

After Mass, the priest caught him and said "James, I am so glad you decided to come to Mass, what made you come?"

James 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 Shaun had one just like mine and I knew that Shaun came to church every Sunday. I know Shaun has 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 Shaun's hat."

The priest said, "But I notice that you don't have Shaun's hat with you. "

James said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 commandments, I changed my mind."

The priest gave James 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?"

James shook his head and said, "No, Father, after you talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left my hat."
