arizona humor Monks

The new young monk is assigned to help the other monks in
copying the old canons and laws of the order by hand. He
notices that they are copying from copies, not from the
original manuscript.

So, the new monk goes to the Abbot to ask him about it,
pointing out that if a monk made even a small error in the
first copy, it would never be picked up, and would be
continued in all future copies.

The Abbot replies, "We have been copying from the copies for
centuries, but you make a good point, my son."

So, the Abbot goes down into the caverns under the monastery
where the original manuscript has been in a locked vault,
unopened for hundreds of years.

Hours go by, and nobody sees the old Abbot. The young monk
gets worried and goes down to find him. He finally finds him
banging his head against the floor. His forehead is bloody
and bruised, and he is crying uncontrollably.

The young monk asks, "What's wrong, father?" In a choking
voice, the old man replies, "The word is celebrate."
