A young couple was applying for membership at a new church in their community.
The pastor told them they would need to stay celibate for one month to show their commitment, and then come back and see him to complete the application procedure.
They came back a couple of weeks later and told the pastor they had been unable to meet the celibacy requirement.
The pastor asked what happened.
The young man said, “well, we were in the grocery store and Ernestine leaned over one of the vegetable bins to get a nice big Vidalia onion way back on the last row. Temptation took over, and I couldn’t control my urges any longer”.
The pastor said, “I’m sorry, we can’t let you in our church”.
The young man said, “don’t feel bad. They won’t let us back in Kroger’s either”.
