A newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor told them: "We have a special requirement for new parishioners. You must abstain from sex for one whole month."

 

The couple agreed. After two-and-a-half weeks, they returned to the church. When the pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was crying and husband was

obviously distraught.

 

"Is there a problem?" the pastor asked.

 

"We are terribly ashamed," the young man said. "We did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month."

 

"Tell me what happened, son," said the pastor.

 

"Well," the young man said, "the first week was difficult -- but we managed to abstain, through sheer willpower. The second week was terrible, but we prayed and prayed and prayed for strength, and we managed to abstain. But the third week? The third week was unbearable. We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible -- anything to keep our minds off carnal thoughts. One afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and had my way with her right then and there." The young man looked ashamed. So did his wife.

 

"You understand t his means you will not be welcome in our church," said the pastor.

 

"We know," said the young woman, hanging her head. "We're not welcome at Home Depot, either."
