Remember this is not one of my jokes... and unfortunately I don't have a reference
to who it has been written by.
Vow of Silence
A young man entered a monastery, taking vows of poverty and
silence. Under the rules he was only allowed to speak two words
every seven years. For the first seven years, he performed hard
labor daily and spent his time in silent meditation. After seven years,
he went to the abbot and said., "bed hard".
He toiled under the same regime for another seven years. On his
14th anniversary he went to the abbot and said, "Food Lousy".
Back he went to his regime of hard work and meditation. After
seven more years he went back to the abbot and said, "I Quit".
To which the abbot replied, I'm not surprised. All you have done
since you have arrived is complain, complain, complain.
