One Sunday morning as Father McDonald was getting ready for Mass he looked out at the congregation and to his astonishment, there in the back of the church sat Murphy. Father had been there for over 20 years and Murphy had never been to Mass. When Mass was over and Father was greeting the parishioners as they left he pulled Murphy aside, "Murphy" he said,"Sure and it's happy I am that ye came to Mass today, tell me lad what it was that brought you here?" "Well Father," said Murphy, "This last week I lost me hat! I've had that hat for 10 years and I feel right undressed without it. Then I remembered that O'Bannion had one just like it, so I thought I'd slip in here and just before Mass was over I slip out and grab that hat on me way out." But ye dinna take it." said the priest."No Father, it was yer sermon on the Ten Commandments." "Ah and when I got to Thou Shalt Not Steal, you decided better to let it be than to risk eternal hell." said Father. "Nah Father, when you got to Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, I remembered where I left me hat!!!"

That is left to the imagination RJ.πππ
Well, that brings to mind a story i read about Louis Armstrong as a young man. Some how his regular girlfriend found out he had been messing around with another chick. So, she was chasing him with a straight razor, intending to slice him into small pieces. He wwas running and jumped across a canal that she could not jump across. But in his flight, his new and expensive Stetson hat fell off on the bank where his girlfrield was standing. She took it and used the razon to mince it into small slices. He stood there pleadin with her not to do that to his expensive hat, but she was to mad to listen. Just Sayin...RJS
Sounds like hats off to those who stray ππ€ͺ
