A young priest arrives at his new parish and is only there 6 days when his bicycle was stolen.
He's very annoyed, he complains bitterly to the parish priest.
And the parish priest was a wise and consoled old man,
He says don't worry about this, don't get all het-up about it.
I'll tell you what you do,
On Sunday, he says,
as part of the sermon on Sunday Mass, he says,
do the 10 Commandments and when you come to the part about Thou Shalt Not Steal,
Have a good look around the congregation and you will spot the guilty person.
So the old priest is waiting for him after Sunday Mass and asks him, Well, when you got to Thou Shalt Not Steal, did you find your bicycle?
To tell you the truth Father, I did not get that far. I only got as far as Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.

And I remembered where I left me bike.
