After reading Joe's monk story I just had to tell mine;
 
a young man joined a monastery and was only allowed to say 2 words every ten 
years.
after the first 10 they called him in and told him how well he had done and he 
could now say his 2 words. he said "foods cold" and he couldn't speak for 
another 10.
 
after another successful 10 years they called him in and said that he had been 
there 20 years and had again kept his vow for another 10. He was allowed to 
speak and said "beds hard" and couldn't speak for another 10 years.
 
after another successful 10 years he was called in and told that he had now 
been with them for 30 years and had kept his vow for another 10 years. He was 
allowed to speak and said " I quit!" to which they replied,
 
"we're not surprised, all you've done is complain since you got here"
