Young newlyweds are new to town and looking to join a church, so they meet with the pastor. Pastor says, "We have a very strict moral code, and cannot tolerate vice. Only if you can refrain from fornicating for three weeks do you have the discipline for salvation. If you can, you are welcome in our spiritual community." Newlyweds exchange pained looks but agree to abstain.
They report back after one week. "Have you been able to avoid the temptation of sin?" "Yes, Pastor." "Come back next week, then, and in the meantime do not indulge your base bodily urges."
They report back again the second week. "Have you successfully avoided the sin of carnality?" "Well, yes, Pastor, but it's been very difficult." "Very good. Come back next week, and avoid the pleasures of the flesh until then."
Third week, they report again. "Have you succeeded in avoiding the sin of lust?" "Well, Pastor, the other day my wife dropped a can of tomatoes on the floor, and when she bent over to pick it up, I just couldn't control myself and I took her then and there."
The Pastor clucks disapprovingly. "Then I am sorry to say you're not welcome here."
"Funny thing, Pastor --- that's what they told us at Safeway, too!"
