For the first time in thirty years Sully shows up in church.
Father Mannix is almost overwhelmed with enthusiasm at Sully showing up in church and gives his best sermon ever on… “The Ten Commandments”
At the end of mass Father Mannix races to the back of the church to find Sully. “ It is truly great to see you in church after all these years!”
Sully says, “Well father, to be truthful I didn’t come with the best of intentions.
You see - I lost my best hat.
I looked everywhere for it.
I remembered that Kelly had a hat just like it and that Kelly comes to mass every Sunday and sits in the back.
I came to church to steal Kelly’s hat”.
“But I decided against it. I listened to your sermon and I didn’t steal the hat.”
Father Mannix says, “ That’s great Sully – Was it what I preached about the 7th commandment - Thou shalt not steal ?”
“ No Father- it was the sixth – Thou shalt not commit adultery. “
“I remembered where I left my hat.”
