When the minister agreed to marry a young couple in his church he stipulated that they remain abstinent during their engagement. One week before the wedding, he met with them and asked, "Have you remained chaste, as I counseled you?" "I'm afraid not, Reverend, " said the man. "Oh, dear. Why not?" asked the Reverend. The young man replied, "Well, last week my fiancée was reaching for a box of light bulbs on a high shelf, and she dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and, well, we just lost all control right there." "I'm sorry my son, but I can't marry you in this church," replied the Reverend. "Yeah, that's what we thought," the young man sighed. "We're not welcome at Home Depot anymore, either."
A new monk was assigned to copy old texts by hand. Noticing that he would be copying from a copy and not from the original, he asks the elderly master, "If a mistake was made on the copy, won't that mistake by repeated on all subsequent copies?" This caused the master some concern, so he took the copy to the cellar to check it against the original. After the master didn't return after a few hours, the new monk went to the cellar to check on him. Hearing wailing, he found the old master leaning over one of the original manuscripts. Looking up, the master sobbed, "The word was supposed to be celebrate, NOT CELIBATE!"
