Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle
aged couple and a young newlywed couple
wanted to join the church. The Pastor
said
"We have a requirement for new parishioners.
You must abstain from having sex for two
weeks."
The couples agreed and two weeks later came
back to the Pastor.
He asked the elderly couple,
"Did you abstain from sex for the past two
weeks ?"
The old man replied "Sure did, no problem
at all."
"Congratulations and welcome to the church,"
said the Pastor. The Paster then asked
the middle aged couple,
"Were you able to abstain from sex for two
weeks ?"
The man replied, "The first week was not
too bad,
but I had to sleep on the davenport for
a few nights
during the second week, but yes we made
it."
"Congratulations, and welcome to the church,
" said the Pastor.
He then turned to the newlywed couple and
asked,
"Were you able to abstain from having sex
for the two weeks?"
"No Pastor we were not able to go without
having sex for the two weeks,"
the young man replied sadly.
"What happened ?" inquired the Pastor.
"My wife reached for a can of corn on the
top shelf and dropped it.
When she bent over to pick it up,
I was overcome
with lust and took advantage of her
right there," replied the young man.
"You understand then that of course you
will not be welcome in our church,"
stated the Pastor.
"We know." said the young man,
"We're not welcome at Safeway anymore either."
