The Abbot​

G'day, members! We’ve got a fun one from @Robert Henzell to brighten your day. Here’s a joke he sent us—enjoy!


A young man wishes to become a Trappist monk so he goes to the Monastery where he meets the Abbot.
The Abbot explains to him that he has to adhere to the vows of silence and he cannot speak during his stay. However the Abbot tells him that after each year he can come to him and discuss anything ?
1 year later the young man meets the Abbot who says 'well my son you have completed one year of silence. Is there anything you would like to discuss.?
The young man says well my habit is a bit threadbare. Is it possible for me to get a new one?The Abbot says certainly go to the store and get a replacement.
Another year passes and he is summoned to meet the Abbot who says well my son another tear has gone by and you have kept your vows of silence,is there anything you would like to discuss with me?
The young man says well my mattress is getting worn and rather lumpy,is it possible for me to obtain a replacement to which the Abbot says certainly my son .go to the store and get a new one.
Another year passes and the young man is summoned to see the Abbot who reminds him that another year has gone by and is there anything he would like to discuss'
The young man says to the Abbot I think I am not suited to this type of life and I would prefer to leave the Monastery.
The Abbot says thank goodness for that because all you have done since arriving here is MOAN.
