A young couple wanted to join a church.
The reverend told them, "We have special requirements for new
parishioners.
You must abstain from sex for one whole month."
The couple agreed and after two-and-a-half weeks returned to the Church.
When the Pastor ushers them into his office, the wife is crying and the
husband obviously very depressed.

"We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain
from sex for the required month...." the young man replied sadly.
The Reverend asked him what happened.
"Well, the first week was difficult.... However, we managed to abstain
through sheer willpower. The second week was terrible, but with the use
of prayer, we managed to abstain."
"However, 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." Admitted the man, shamefacedly.
"You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church,"
stated the Reverend.
"We know.." said the young man, hanging his head.
"We're not welcome at Homebase either...
