The unsatisfied monk
Every ten years, the monks in the monastery are allowed to break their
vow of silence to speak two words.
Ten years go by and it’s one monk’s first chance. He thinks for a second
before saying, “Food bad.”
Ten years later, he says, “Bed hard.”
It’s the big day, a decade later. He gives the head monk a long stare
and says, “I quit.”
“I’m not surprised,” the head monk says. “You’ve been complaining ever
since you got here.”
