maybe im not at my best rite now…but i dint get this joke!!! :cofused:

A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other
monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices, however, that they
are copying from copies, not the original manuscripts. So, the new
monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this, pointing out that
if there were an error in the first copy, 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.” So, he goes down into
the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

Hours go by and nobody sees him. So, one of the monks goes downstairs
to look for him. Hearing sobbing coming from the back of the cellar,
he finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying.
He asks the old monk what’s wrong, and in a choked voice came the
reply, “The word is celebrate.”

umm so??? :confused:
where is the catch or the punchline?

well......monks of many different religions follow a life of "celebacy"

this means that they are not allowed sex.............

now your monks in question, they just followed what was written in the law, and this law was copied down for centuries. Apparently the first copier made a mistake and copied the word celebate instead of celebrate....and therefore the monks , thruout the centuries have been leading a "celebate" life.

Get it now?

if not....pls make out a check in my name and i will take the pain to get this thru ur head again.......:)
