Silent Monastery

A new monk joined a monastery up in the mountains. The monastery had one rule: Everyone but the leader could only speak 2 words every 5 years.

So after 5 years, the new monk goes to the leader to say his 2 words.

"Bed's hard." he says

The leader says "OK, those are your two words, see you in 5 years."

5 more years pass, and the monk comes back to say his two words.

"Food's lousy." he says

Leader says "OK, thanks for your two words, see you in 5 years."

Another 5 years pass, and the monk comes back to say his two words again.

"I quit." he says

The leader looks at him and says "I figured you would, you've been complaining ever since you got here!"
