Then there was the parish priest who was furious over his bicycle being stolen. He phones up the bishop to ask for advice and was told, 'This is an easy one, Father. Next Sunday, make your sermon on The Ten Commandment. When you get to "Thou shalt not steal", lay it on good and thick. Odds are, the person who stole the bicycle will be so overcome with guilt that they'll return it. With any luck at all, they may even come to Confession!' Priest thanks him, hangs up and goes to work on the sermon immediately.
The next Sunday, the bishop rings up the priest and asks, 'Well, my son, how did my advice go over?'
'Sorry to say, Your Grace, but I really didn't need your plan after all.'
'Good heavens!'exclaims the bishop. 'So the guilty party returned your property of his own accord?'
'Not so much, bishop. While I was writing my sermon, as soon as I got to "Thou shalt not commit adultery", I remembered where I left me bike.'
