An old man was unhappy because he'd lost his favourite hat.
Instead of buying a new one, he decided to go to the local church and pinch one out of the vestibule.
But, when he tried, an usher saw him and forced him to sit in a pew and listen to the entire sermon on the Ten Commandments.
After church, the old man went to the preacher, shook his hand and said
"I want to thank you for saving my soul today.
I came to church to steal a hat and after hearing your sermon on the Ten Commandments, I decided against it".
"You mean the Commandment 'Thou shalt not steal' changed your mind? asked the preacher.
"No," said the old man. "The one about adultery did.
As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered where I'd left my hat".
