It Is Tough Being a Monk

There was a man who was fed up with modern society, and

decided to become a Monk. He checked out a number of

monasteries and chose one he liked. The only reservation he

had with it was, he had to take a vow of silence and could

only say two words every one year. He took the vow and began

his first year of service without saying a word.

At the end of one long year he was brought before the head

of the monastery and was asked what two words he would like

to say.

His response was "FOOD BAD."

And that was it for another long year, until he was once

again allowed to say another two words. After two years of

service he was brought before the head of the monastery and

was asked what two words he would like to say.

His response was: "MORE BLANKETS."

And that was it for another long year, until he was once

again allowed to say another two words. After three years of

service he was brought before the head of the monastery and

asked what two words he would like to say.

His response was: "I QUIT!"

The head Monk answered back: "You might as well. You have

done nothing but complain since you have been here!"
