3 couples move into a new parish wanting to become part of the community and join the local church.
On meeting the local man of the cloth, each are asked to under-go a small yet significant task to demonstrate there commitment to the church… “Abstain from s*x for 30 days and ye shall be considered as worthy for our parish…†( Ok maybe getting carried away here but you get the drift).
30 days later and the holy father has them all back at the church for a progress report..
The first couple, an older pair, stated they hadn’t had nuptials since England last won the world cup, 30 days wasn’t an issue and they’d been “clean†over the last month.
“You’ve demonstrated your commitment to the house of God my sons and you’re welcome to our church†said the father.
The second couple, middle aged with two kids, reported struggling during the 30 days, but what with the kids interrupting and very little time, managed to refrain from any “domestics†for the 30 days.
“You’ve demonstrated your commitment to the house of God my sons and you’re welcome to our church†again said the father,
The third couple, married for a few weeks and still clearly only having eyes for each other said “ We tried Father, but one afternoon my wife bent over the fridge in her mini skirt, stocking tops showing and I finally gave way and had her there and then…â€Â
“I’m sorry†said the Father, You’ve not demonstrated your commitment to the church and are not therefore welcome in our house of Godâ€Â.
The couple hung there heads in shame, “ I’m not totally surprised†piped up the woman, “ we’re not exactly welcome in Tesco’s either….
