A Case of Irish Alzheimers
Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday
and the priest almost fell down when he saw him.
He'd never been to church in his life.
After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said,
"Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass.
What made ya 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 mine and I knew he came to
church every Sunday. I also knew
that he 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 ya
didn't steal McGlynn's hat.
What changed your mind?"
Murphy replied,
"Well, after I heard your sermon
on the Ten Commandments,
I decided that I didn't need to
steal McGlynn's hat after all."
With a tear in his eye the priest
gave Murphy a big smile and said;
"After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal'
ya decided you would rather do
without your hat than burn in Hell?"
Murphy slowly shook his head.

I remembered where I left me hat."
