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 ■■■ 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
■■■ 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 ■■■ 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 ■■■ for two weeks?”
“No Pastor, we were not able to go without ■■■ 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 ■■■■ 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 B&Q anymore either.”
