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, "We missed the 'R',
the word was...CELEBRATE!!!"
