"Dad"-honor mom and dad
"Killed"-don't kill
"cheating"-don't commit adultery
"theif"-don't steal
"and lied"-don't lie

It was meant more for humor than seriousness. Yes, you could, and most kids do at one point or another for sunday school and then forget.

The Commandments to me are like the Greek alphabet. I know every character, but I couldn't reel them off in order.

It is not enough, but you cannot follow them if you do not know them, and this other than being funny, can help you remember them, or you can simply momorize them.

uhhh.... or you could just remember it.If people just remembered the Ten Commandments, then we wouldn't have an excuse to plaster them on the walls of our courthouses, class rooms, and other government buildings.

[S]o long as you know them. Not unlikely, since they comprise the foundation of my religious beliefs.

Thanks, Asphalt, I like it. Every Good Boy Does Fine bump. (And there used to be St. Dapiacle for remembering the cabinet positions, but there are too many now for a mnemonic device.)
