It's Friday afternoon, so time for a quick diversion. Stop me if you've heard this one...
A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence.
Actually, he's allowed to say two words every seven years.
After the first seven years, the monastery elders bring him in their office and ask for his two words.
"Cold floors," he says.
Seven more years pass.
The elders bring him back in and ask for his two words.
"Bad food," he says.
Seven more years pass.
The elders bring him in for his two words.
"I quit," he says.
"That's fine," the elders respond. "You've done nothing but complain since you got here."
