Three couples – one elderly, one middle-aged and one newlywed – were interested in joining the church. The priest said, “We have special requirements for new members. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks.” The couples agreed to the terms and they all came back at the end of the two week period.
The priest went to the elderly couple and asked, “Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?”
The old man replied, “No problem at all, Father.”
“Congratulations, you are now members of the church!” said the priest.
The priest went to the middle-aged couple and asked, “Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?”
The middle-aged man replied, “The first week wasn’t too bad. The second week I ended up having to sleep on the couch for a few nights, but yes, we made it.”
“Congratulations you are now members of the church!” said the priest.
Finally, the priest went to the newlywed couple and asked, “Were you two newlyweds able to abstain from sex for two weeks?”
“No Father, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks,” the young man replied sadly.
“What happened?” asked the priest.
“My wife was reaching for a can of soup on the top shelf and she dropped it,” said the man. “When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there.”
“I see. Unfortunately this means you will not be welcomed into our church,” said the priest.
“We know,” said the couple. “We’re not welcome at the grocery store anymore either.”
