Three couples applied for membership to a new church, the pastor explained, " First you must show your devotion to God by remaining celibate for three weeks." The couples agreed that was not to much to ask, and went on their way. Three weeks later the couples returned.

The pastor asked the first couple of their experience, to which they replied, "The first week was most challenging, but with God's help, the remaining two weeks were quite insightful."

"Bless you my children," the pastor replied with an approving smile, "and welcome to our congregation." The pastor then looked to the second couple and asked if they had grown from their experience as well, to which they replied, "Well the first two weeks were sort-of touch and go, if you know what I mean, but we figured it was for a good cause and all... so we finally made it."

The pastor then looked upon the third couple with great expectation and asked them the same question.

"Not so good," the man answered ashamed of himself, "The first couple of days went okay, but when I saw my wife bend over to get in the refrigerator...well... I just kinda lost it."

The pastor's look became very disapproving. "I'm afraid you will not be allowed to join our church."

"That's okay," the man said sheepishly, "They wont let us in Safeway anymore either."
