No takers for contest that requires abstinence

The prize includes $10,000, free flowers, invitations and wedding treats

ATLANTA - A contest that would pay $10,000 to an engaged couple, as long as they abstain from premarital sex, hasn't gotten any takers. The deadline for the Marriage for a Lifetime contest is Oct. 31. The prize includes free flowers, invitations and other wedding treats.
So far, organizer Phillippia Faust hasn't gotten any entries.
 
I would say that a great number of the engaged couples are already not qualified for the contest and then so many more wait until they get that ring and as soon as they have it...there goes that idea...then the rest well do they even have internet because they are probably amish, maybe she is not advertising in the right place...
 
I am sure they could find someone, somewhere to take them up on it. It's just, how do they prove it? Kinda dumb contest really.
 
A priest is interviewing three married couples, newcomers to town, who want to join his church.

The first couple has been married 50 years, the second couple has been married 30 years, and the third couple are 20-year-old newlyweds.

The priest says, "To prove the purity of your commitment to our church, you must remain chaste for the next four weeks. If you can, you will be welcome in our church."

Four weeks later they assemble in the priest’s office to report to him.

He asks the couple married 50 years how they did. They say, "It was no problem whatsoever," and the priest says, "You are welcome in our church."

He asks the couple married 30 years how they did, and the husband says, "Well, it was tough, but we managed to do it," whereupon the priest says, "You are welcome in our church."

Then he asks the 20-year-old newlyweds how they did.

The husband says, "Well, Father, the first week was OK. The second week we really wanted to but we managed to get by. The third week the temptation got so bad we had to sleep in separate bedrooms. And I thought we were going to make it through the fourth week, but yesterday, when I saw my wife bent over at the waist to pick up a bag of flour from the bottom shelf, I just lost control and I took her right then and there."

A look of disappointment passes over the priest’s face, and he reluctantly says, "Then you are not welcome in our church."

The newlywed wife says, "Yeah, and as of yesterday we aren't welcome in the Safeway either."
 
Dear, dear Bloomzie! I have laughed until the tears now require a re-do of the make-up!
