Seth's List for 05/20/03
Three couples -- one elderly, one middle-aged and
one newlywed -- wanted to join a church. The priest said, "We
have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain
from having sex for two weeks." The couples all 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 sex for the two weeks?"
The old man replied, "No problem at all, Father."
"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!"
said the priest.
The priest went to the middle-aged couple and asked,
"Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?"
The middle-aged 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, yep, we made it."
"Congratulations! Welcome to the church,"
said the priest.
The priest then went to the newlywed couple and asked,
"Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?"
"No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex
for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly.
"What happened?" inquired the priest.
"My wife was reaching for a can of corn on the
top shelf and dropped it," said the young man. "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," stated the priest.
"We know," said the young man. "We're
not welcome at the supermarket anymore either."
