THE MONKS...
A young monk arrives at the monastery. He
is assigned to helping the other monks in copying 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."
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
. . .
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.
"We missed the R !
We missed the R !
We missed 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 !!!"
