A new parrish priest discovers his bicycle is missing. He can not believe that someone in his parrish would stoop so low as to steal it. He calls his bishop and asks what he should do. The wise old bishop says that on teh following Sunday he should preach on the ten commandments and when he gets to the one aboout 'thou shalt not steal' lay it on hot and heavy. Watch for who squirms the most and that will most likely be the guilty party.

The following Sunday the bishop joins the congregation for the sermon and listens carefully. No emphasis is put on the part of not stealing....After the service he asks the priest why he didn't lay it on heavily at that particular point of the sermon. The priest replied that it was not necessary, for when he got to the part about 'thou shalt not commit adultery' he suddenly remembered where he had left his bike!
