The Hat ~OR~ Rule 5 Woodsterman Style

Kevin Craigen 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, "Kevin, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?" 

Craigen 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 Jeff Holtz 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 the church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal Holtz's hat."

Later, the priest said, "Well, Kevin I notice that ya didn't steal Holtz's hat. What changed your mind?" 

Craigen replied, "Well after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal Holt's hat after all" 

With a tear in his eye, the priest gave Craigen 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?" 

Craigen slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left my hat."
