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 that 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 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 year, until he was once again allowed to say another two words. After three years of service he was brought before he 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've done nothing but complain since you got here!"
