A pretty good joke.

I appreciate a good joke every now and then. Haven't heard a good one in ages, but this one got a good laugh out of me.

Enjoy.


Three couples—one elderly; one middle-aged; and one young, newly wed—apply for membership in a local church. The pastor tells them that the requirement for new parishioners is that they abstain from sex for two weeks. The couples agree and go their separate ways.

After two weeks, they return. The pastor first asks the elderly pair if they were able to abstain from sex for two weeks. "No problem, Pastor." replies the old man.

"Congratulations!" says the pastor. "Welcome to the church." He then turns to the middle-aged couple and asks if they were successful in abstaining from sex for two weeks. "It was tough," replies the husband. "By the end of the second week, I had to sleep on the couch, but we did it."

"Congratulations on overcoming temptation," says the pastor. "Welcome to the church." He then turns to the newlyweds and asks if they were able to abstain for two weeks.

"We were doing great," says the husband. "But then one day my wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf, and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with blind lust and took advantage of her right there."

"I see. You understand, of course, that this means you will not be welcome in our church," says the pastor.

"We know," says the young man. "We’re not welcome at the supermarket anymore either."
