  5. 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 10 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. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' I remembered where I left me hat."

    agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall
    be removed from the current position as a result of failure to perform

    illumination of the area ranging from the front (North) door, through the
    entryway, terminating at an area just inside the primary living area, demarcated

    aforementioned agreement between the parties. The aforementioned removal
    transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following steps:

    Section 1. The party of the first part (Lawyer) shall, with or without
    elevation at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool, ladder or any other
    means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and rotate
