Englisman's secret desire to become a monk.

[revboy]

A certain British chap always had a secret desire to become a monk, however he had never spoken of this to anybody, well as it happened his two children were married and had moved overseas, probably to Australia, his wife had recently passed away, he found himself alone. As he was one day contemplating his naval, he thought, this is my chance, so he sold his house and car and gave the proceeds to charity, but he kept back a little money for airfare to Katmandu. He finally arrived and after a little trekking he noticed an isolated monastry perched high up on a mountain top, he decided to hike there, after a strenuous climb he arrived and stood in front of a gigantic wooden door, so he knocked with vigour upon the door, after a little while the huge door creeked ajar and the head of a little monk popped out, and said, what do you want my son, the chap replied l would like to speak to someone who can help me to become a monk, oh l see said the little monk, follow me please.
The little monk led him to a room deep within the monastry, and low and behold who should be seated before him it was the Delai Lama (DL) himself, the DL invited him to be seated and asked him what it was that he wanted, the chap replied l wish to become a monk just like you.
The DL explained that very few westerners ever became monks and that there was a 15 year preparation period of isolation and meditation, and at the completion of every 5 year period he would only be permitted to speak two words, the chap immediately replied, l will do it !
So his head was shaved and orange robes were given him, and off he went to a regimine of total isolation, prayer and meditation.
After the first 5 year period was accomplished, the DL came to see him to ask what his first two words would be, he replied, MORE FOOD, so they gave him more food, then back into prayer and meditation.
After 10 years had passed the DL aked him what his next two words were, he replied, MORE DRINK, so he was given more drink, then back into prayer and meditation.
Finally after 15 years had expired, the fateful day had arrived, The DL came to him with a sizeable enturage and there was a great to-do !

The DL said what are your last two words my son ? the chap said, I QUIT,
the Delai Lama replied, thank goodness for that, you have done nothing but WINGE since you got here !
