A young couple wanted to join the church, but the pastor told them, "We have a special requirement for new member couples. You must abstain from sex for one whole month."
The couple agreed, but after two and 1/2 weeks returned to the Church.
When the pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was crying and the husband was obviously depressed. "You are back so soon...Is there a problem?" the pastor inquired.
"We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month," the young man replied sadly.
"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 I just had my way with her. It was loud and passionate, and lasted over an hour."
The pastor lowered his head and said sternly, "You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church."
"We know," said the young man hanging his head, "We're not welcome at Home Base either."
