Vow of Silence Joke

After a long and arduous struggle, a man joins a Tibetan Monastery which has a 5 year vow of silence. After 5 years, you are only allowed two words.

The first 5 years passes. The student monk sits before the head monk and says, “hard bed”.

Another 5 years passes.

The student monk comes before the head monk and says, “food bad”.

A further 5 years passes.

The student monk once again presents to the head monk and says, “I quit”.

The head monk considers this for a moment, then replies: “I’m not surprised. All you’ve been doing is complaining since you got here”.
