Re: [merged] The Joke Thread (Part 2)
OK, time to divert attention, so I'll post another bad joke:
A young monk arrives at the monastery and is assigned to helping other monks in copying old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscripts. 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 not be picked up. In fact the error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk says, †ÂÂÂWe have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.ââ‚ ¬Ã‚ÂÂ
So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasnâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the abbot.
The young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He finds him banging his head against the wall and wailing, †ÂÂÂWe forgot the R, we forgot the R.â₠¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, †œWhat is wrong father?ââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ÂÂ
With a choking voice the old abbot replies,ââ‚ ‚¬Ã‚ÂÂThe word was †˜celebrateâ ۉâ₠žÂ¢.âââ₠¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã‚ÂÂ
