A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying copies, and not the original books. So the new monk goes to the Abbot to ask him about this. He points out that if there was an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.
The Abbot says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son." So he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

Hours later, nobody has seen him. So one of the monks goes downstairs to look for him. He hears sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying. He asks what's wrong?

"The word is celebrate," says the old monk.

After eight weeks away on business in a strange city, the married exec entered a local brothel, produced three one-hundred dollar bills and said, "I want the worst screw in the house."

The madam answered, "But, sir, for that price you can have one of our better girls."

"Nope. I want the worse piece of ass around," he maintained.

"Sir, I cannot let you do this. I mean we have our reputation to maintain too," the distraught madam said.

"Listen, Toots," the man continued, "I'm not horny, just homesick."
