A man joined a monastery where one of the rules was a strict vow of silence. He was only allowed to say two words every ten years.

So, after being there 10 years, he was called into the abbot's office.

Abbot: You may now speak your two words.
Monk: Food cold.

And then he left.

Ten more years pass. The monk is again called into the abbot's office.

Abbot: You may now speak your two words.
Monk: Bed hard.

And then he left.

Ten more years pass. Once again, the monk is in the abbot's office.

Abbot: You may now speak your two words.
Monk: I quit.
Abbot: Doesn't surprise me. You've been bitching since you got here.
