A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other >>monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. >> >>He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not >>from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to >>question this, pointing out that if someone made even 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 copies 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 abbot. >> >>So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him >>banging his head against the wall and wailing, " 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, "What's wrong, father?" >> >>With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was...CELEBRATE!!!" >>
