A guy decides to become a Zen monk in Japan.
He is told that he most obey every rule without
question, and every 10 years he will be allowed to
speak 2 words.
10 years go by and he faces the abbot and is told he
is allowed to speak.
The man says: "BAD FOOD".
Another 10 years pass and once more he faces the abbot
and speaks the following: "NO HEAT".
After another decade, before the abbot again, he says
"I'M LEAVING". He then begins to leave the monastery.
A senior monk gets up to call him back but the abbot
puts his hand on his shoulder and says:
"Let him go, all he did was whine!" :D
