Monks

[Seafood]

Every morning at breakfast in the monastery the Abbot chants “Morning!” and all the other monks must reply “Morning!”. At dinner, the Abbot chants “Evening!” and all the other monks reply “Evening!”. This goes on for years, “Morning!” in the morning, “Evening!” in the evening.

Finally a few monks can’t take it any more and decide to shake things up a bit. The next morning when the Abbot chants “Morning!” and everyone else responds “Morning!” these monks instead chant “Evening!”. The room is silent.

The Abbot looks around sternly and then complains

“Some men chanted ‘Evening!’”
