Welcome At Church?

Three couples -- one elderly, one middle-aged and one newlywed -- wanted to
join a church. The priest said, "We have special requirements for new
parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couples all
agreed and came back at the end of two weeks.


The pastor 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! Welcome to the church!" said the priest.


The priest went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to
abstain from sex for the two weeks?"


The middle-aged 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, yep, we made it."


"Congratulations! Welcome to the church," said the priest.


The priest then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Well, were you able to
abstain from sex for two weeks?"


"No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young
man replied sadly.


"What happened?" inquired the priest.


"My wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf and dropped it," said
the young man. "When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and
took advantage of her right there."


"You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church,"
stated the priest.


"We know," said the young man. "We're not welcome at the supermarket anymore
either."
