** JOKE ** - Monastery Life
 

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping
the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by
hand.

He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies,
not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head
abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error
in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error
would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for
centuries, but you make a good point, my son."

He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery
where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked
vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years.

Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.

So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him.

He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing,
"We missed the "R" ! , we missed the " R " !"

His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"

With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was
CELEBRATE."

:roll: made me chuckle though

:lol:

Some years earlier the monastery had a new recruit. He was fed up with a high pressure sales existence, tired of luxury vehicles, and no longer found life exciting. The old abbot reminded him of the vow of silence needed, apart from 2 words every 10 years. 'I agree' said the bloke. Well 10 years went by of copying Vox's manuscripts and the monk went to see the abbot. 'Bed hard' he said. The old abbot died and a new one was appointed. And before anyone at the monastery realised it, another 10 years went by. And our man goes off to see the abbot. 'Food cold' he said. And another 10 years brings us up to date. He goes off to see the abbot. 'I quit'. 'Not surprised ' said the abbot, you've done nothing but complain since you got here.'
