I've only met a couple of people who knew this joke already, so
I guess I'll post it:

The self-declared high priest of a new religious movement advertises
the initial recruit meeting in a local paper. On the night of that
meeting three couples attend; one in their sixties, one in their
forties and a pair of newlyweds. The high priest announces to all
six people that in order to fulfill the primary requirement of the
movement they will have to abstain from sexual activity for one month,
returning then to report.

When the month passes and the group is reconvened, the priest asks
the elderly couple," Well, how did you make out, folks?"

"Fine; no problem," they claim.

The priest turns to the couple in their forties and asks, "And how
did you do?"

"It was rough, but we made it the whole month," they answer.

"And how did you fare with your challenge," the priest asks the
newly-married pair.

The woman turns away blushing, so her husband answers, "We were
doing well until one day when I stood behind her as she bent over
the freezer, and the sight of her was too much to bear, and I
couldn't take it any more...."

His face darkening dramatically, the high priest declares, "In that
case you must leave us, because you cannot fulfill the primary rule."

The young man turns away saying, "Oh, that's okay. They won't let
us into the supermarket any more, either."
