A priest had his bicycle stolen and thought a member of his flock was to blame. In need of advice he consulted his bishop who suggested that he root out the thief by preaching a sermon on the ten commandments.
The idea was that when the priest got to Thou shalt not steal he would pause and look around the church for anyone behaving in a guilty manner. In this way it was hoped that the culprit would give himself away.
A couple of weeks later the bishop bumped into the priest and asked him whether the plan had worked. Well yes said the priest but not quite in the way you envisaged.
I was going thru the Ten commandments one by one and when I got to thou shalt not commit adultery i remembered where i had left my bike.
