Three couples wanted to join their local church. An elderly couple in their eighties, a middle aged couple and a young newlywed couple.
At the meeting with the vicar they were told that they would only be allowed to join if they could abstain from sex for four weeks. They were to come back after that time and report.
Four weeks later they all met with the vicar and were asked how they had faired.
The elderly couple said that they had had no problem whatsoever. The middle aged couple said that the first three weeks were fine but the last week was a struggle, but they just managed it. The vicar congratulated them and welcomed them into the church.
He then turned to the newlyweds. "And how did you go on," he asked.
"Well," said the husband, "the first two weeks were not too bad, the third week was very difficult, but the fourth week was impossible. It was okay until we decided to do some decorating. My wife reached up to a high shelf for a tin of paint and dropped it. As she bent over to pick it up I was overcome with lust and we had sex there and then."
"You realise that because of your actions you won't be welcome in this church?" said the vicar.
"We won't be welcome in Homebase either," replied the wife.
