Monastery Life 

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!!!"
