Well a friend of mine spent quite some time in a Monastery.. He joined and immediately took a VOW of Silence which is of even more import than that of celibacy. After five years the Pope came to visit and allowed an absolution of two words Where upon my friend spoke out saying " FOOD ROTTING" He then returned to his work duties and devotions and prayers... After yet another five years the Pope again graced the institute with his presence and allow my friend yet to speak before all the brethren yet another two words Where upon my friend then ,in a rather weak and frail voice, gently said "BED COLD" and it was rumoured that a tear seemed to appear in his eye ( this was never confirmed as true however )The pope appeared once again no less than 5 years to the day and granted all those who had taken the Vows of Silence another very gracious pardon of two more words My friend said " Need Medicine" Well to make a short story even longer The next five years of his life he spent waiting for the Poop to appear once again. Where upon he spoke his two words "I Quit " At which opportunity the Pope quipped to the rest of the brothers "
It is just as well , all he ever does is complain !
Maybe I'll stay home and play stocks :-}
