Three couples - a senior citizen couple, a middle-aged couple, and a young newlywed couple - wanted to join a church.
The pastor informed them, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. We require them to abstain from having s*e*x for two weeks before joining the church. Are you ready to do that?" The couples said they were.
Two weeks later, the three couples returned.
The pastor asked the senior citizen couple, "Were you able to abstain for the entire two weeks?"
The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor."
"Congratulations! " said the pastor. "Welcome to the church."
The pastor then asked the middle-aged couple, "Were you able to abstain for the two weeks?"
The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes, we made it."
"Congratulations! " the pastor said once again. "Welcome to the church."
The pastor then asked the newlywed couple, "Well, were you able to abstain for the two weeks?"
"I must apologize, Pastor," the young man said, "but we were not able to."
"What happened?" inquired the pastor.
"Well, we almost made it, but then just yesterday, my wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf and dropped it," the young man explained. "When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and couldn't resist taking advantage of her right then and there."
"I see," said the pastor. "You understand, of course, this means you will not be able to join our church," he added. "I'm sorry." The young couple left the pastor's office.
"I can't believe it!" the wife said as they walked outside. "Banned from both church and supermarket in the same week!"
