OT:

Snowman49, your amazing brevity this past decade reminds of of a joke:

A young man decided to become a monk. He joined the local monastery to be initiated into the spiritual life. As part of his training he was told he must live in one room, with one meal a day in complete silence. Every six months he was allowed out of the room and could say three words.

After the first six months the man was let out of the room and taken to the Abbot, who asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Bed too hard."

"Ok," said the Abbot, "we will see what we can do."

Six months later the man was let out of the room again and taken to see the Abbot. "Do you have anything to say?" asked the Abbot.

"Room too cold."

"Ok," said the Abbot, "we will see what we can do."

Another six months passes and the man was let out of the room again, and the Abbot asked him if he had anything to say.

"Not enough food."

"Ok," said the Abbot, "we will see what we can do."

After another six months the man came out of his room and the Abbot said to him, "I am sorry but you have failed to become a monk".

"But why?" asked the man.

The Abbot replied, "You complain too much."
