A priest decides to become a
monk. When he enters the
monastery, he is told by the
head monk that he is forbidden
to say anything, and that every
ten years he can utter two
words. The priest accepts this
and enters his ten years of
silence. After ten years he is
brought before the head monk,
and is allowed his two words.
"Bed hard" he says. He then
resumes his silence.
Ten years later he is brought
before the head monk again.
"Food bad". He then again
resumes his ten years of silence.
Another ten years goes and he
can say his two words to the
head monk. "I quit".
"I'm not surprised" said the head
monk, "All you've done is
complain for the last 30 years."
