Joining a new church
A newlywed, a middle-aged and an elderly couple are interested in joining a new church. When they meet with their potential Pastor, he tells them that in order to join the church they would have to remain chaste for the next two weeks.
Two weeks later, the three couples return to meet with the Pastor. He asks the elderly couple, “Did you remain chaste over the two weeks?” The husband replies, “Well, we really didn’t have too much of a problem. Uh, at our age we don’t expect to do too much of that anyway.” The Pastor then welcomes them into the church.
He then looks at the middle-aged couple and asks them,”Did you remain chaste over the two weeks?” The husband replies, “Well, it was difficult, and we did have a couple of occasions where we were strongly tempted, but we held out.” The Pastor then welcomes them into the church.
He then looks at the newlywed couple and asks them, “Did you remain chaste over the two weeks?” The husband replies, “Well, we tried very hard, but the other day my wife reached up to grab a can of corn off of a shelf and it fell on the floor. When I saw her bend down to pick it up, I was so overcome with passion that I took her right then and there.” The Pastor says, “Well, you understand this means you won’t be able to join our church.”
The husband replies, “Don’t worry about it, we’ve been banned from Safeway, too.”
