Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence. The
Priest said,  "Sister, this is a silent monastery.
You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak
until I direct you to do so."
Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before
the Priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here
for 5 years. You can speak two words."
Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."
"I'm sorry to hear that," the Priest said, "We will get you a 
better bed."
After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was called by the
Priest. "You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine."
"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured
her that the food would be better in the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the! monastery, the Priest again
called Sister Mary Katherine into his office. "You may say two
words today."
"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.
"It's probably best," said the Priest,
"You've done nothing but bitch   since you got here."
