Two Words

From Emazing.Com's Fun And Games Newsletter

Wanting to join a monastery, a man was told by the head monk that, in order to join, he would be allowed to say only two words a year. The man agreed. After the first year was up, the head monk said, "You've done well this year. What are your two words?"

The man replied, "Hard bed."

The head monk said, "Okay, well, I'll see what I can do."

At the end of the second year, the man was allowed another two words. He told the head monk, "Bad food."

The head monk again told him that he would see what could be done.

At the end of the third year, the head monk asked for the two words the man wanted to speak.

The man said, "I quit."

"Well, I'm not surprised," the head monk told him. "You've been complaining since you got here!"
