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.
