Re: Joke Of The Day

A young monk arrives at a monastery.He is assigned to helping other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices however,that all the monks are copying from copies,not from the original manuscript.So,the new monk goes to the head abbott to question this,pointing out that if someone even made 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 copys 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 abbott,so,the young monk gets worried and goes down looking 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,"Whats wrong,father?"
With a choking voice,the old abbott replies,
"The word was......celeb R ate!!!"
