Two Weeks

"Two Weeks"*

*Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple
and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a church.
The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new
parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks."

The couples 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, Pastor."

"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.

The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked,
"Well, were you able to abstain from sex 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! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.

The pastor 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 pastor.

"My wife was reaching for a can of paint 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."

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

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