Sex and the Church
Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newlywed couple decided to start going to church regularly again.
The priest suggested that as they had all strayed from the Church they should renew their commitment to God by making a sacrifice for Our Lord. The priest instructed all three couples to abstain from having sex for two weeks to show their unselfish commitment to God. The couples all agreed and came back at the end of 2 weeks.
The priest went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for 2 weeks?"
The old man replied.. "No problem at all, father".
"Congratulations! Welcome back to the flock!" said the priest.
Then he went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for 2 weeks?"
The middle-aged man replied, "It was hard but, yes, we made it."
"Congratulations! Welcome back to the church!" said the priest.
He then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain?"
"No, father, we weren't able to make it", the young man replied.
"What happened, my son?" inquired the priest.
"Well, my wife was reaching for a can of beans 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" said the priest.
"We know" said the young man, "We're not welcome at Tescos anymore either."
