A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other
monks copy the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from
the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question
this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first
copy, it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in
all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries,
but you make a good point, my son."
So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the
original manuscripts are held as archives, in a locked vault that hasn't
been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old
abbot. The young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall, wailing, "We forgot the "R",
we forgot the "R"! His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying
uncontrollably .
The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"
With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was 'celebrate'."
Now that's funny.
Grins evily!
