Birds and the Bees and Hardware Please

The newlyweds ask the minister how
to join the church here and now.
"No fornication for two weeks." he said.
Unsure they could, the couple fled.

Two weeks past, judgement day arrived.
Nervous, the couple vocalized,
"It went fine, without complaint,
until she dropped the can of paint."

"Can of paint?" the minister asked.
"She bent over, we made it fast."
"The church bans you." he was forced to say.
"Home Depot did too, so that's okay."

I like the rhythm and the humour and the way it tells the story. The last line is like the punch line. I just want to know why they can't have sex for two weeks? I mean they're married right? I'm probably missing the point or something.
