[scribes]: (Scribes) Monks Joke ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 07:43:09 PST From: "F Kirk Wendel" Subject: [scribes]: (Scribes) Monks Joke I've never seen a joke posted, but I thought the list would like this one. > >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 >head monk 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 head monk 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 is wrong. > >The old monk says, "The word is celebrate!" > > Fedrico Kirk Wendel Carreg Wen, Caid Lompoc, CA. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
