Rejected by his girlfriend and constantly at odds with his work colleagues and parents, Jim decides to join a Monastery.

He chose to join a silent order of Monks, hoping that a silent, reflective and spiritual life would bring fulfilment.

Upon his arrival at the Monastery, Jim was ushered into the Abbot's office. The Abbot addressed him firmly, explaining that he would be allowed to speak only two words on the anniversary of his enrolment.

A year went by, and Jim was invited into the Abbot's office, where he was reminded that he could speak only two words. Jim stood up straight and said "Bed Hard." The Abbot then dismissed him to his duties.

At the end of his second year, Jim was again taken to the Abbot's office. The Abbot asked him for his two words. "Food Bad" said Jim, who was then returned to his duties.

On the third anniversary of his enrolment, Jim repeated the procedures of previous years. "I QUIT", he said loudly.

"Thank God for that." said the Abbot. "You've done nothing but moan since you got here."
