Murphy's Alzhiemer

[Larry]

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. So, I was going to leave 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 s ermon 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."
