Priest and the watch

A priest is having lunch with another priest, and is complaining about losing his expensive watch. "I don't understand it," he says. "The only thing i can think of is unthinkable -- one of my parishioners stole it from my office where I had taken it off." The other priest thinks for a moment and says, "I've got an idea -- next Sunday, give a sermon on the Ten Commandments, and when you get to 'Thou Shalt Not Steal', lay it on REAL thick. The thief will be so consumed with guilt, they will return the watch!" The priest replies, "That's a very good idea -- I'll try it!" Well, a week later the two priests meet again for lunch, and the one notices that the other has his watch back. "Well, I see my advice worked for you!" he beams. "Umm, not exactly..." the priest says. "You see, I followed your advice about given a sermon on the Ten Commandments, but when I got to the part about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left my watch!"
