A Man Joins A Monestary....

He must take a vow of silence. They are only allowed to speak two words every ten years. So ten years pass and the man is called into the abbot's study so he can speak his two words.

"Bed hard"

The abbot dismisses him. Another ten years come and go and his time with the abbot is at hand.

"Food cold"

Once again he is dismissed and goes about his business in prayer and meditation. Ten years pass by again, and again he is summoned by the abbot. He walks in for his chance to speak his two words. He looks the abbot in the eyes and says

"I QUIT!"

The abbot looks at him for a moment, and says "It's about damn time, you've done nothing but complain for 30 years."
