| A young Protestant couple wanted to convert to Catholicism but the priest told them that, in order to prove their sincerity, they would first have to perform an act of penance. He told them they had to abstain from making love for 30 days. Thirty days later the husband called on the priest. "How did it go?" asked the priest. "Well, Father, for 29 days it was fine. But then on the 30th day I saw her standing over the freezer and I just couldn't help myself." "Then I'm sorry," said the priest, "but I can't allow you into the Catholic Church." "That's Ok," said the husband, "They won't allow me into the supermarket any more either." |
