The father abbott, who precided over a large monastry, was in the habit of giving out cash to the monks every friday so they could go into town to buy whatever they needed and was not available in the monastry.
Father Luke was the first in on this friday, and the abbott said "well Father Luke, how much do you need this week?"..."5, 50. please Father abbott"....
"ok, so, what are you going to spend your money on?"....
"Oh, er, bj Father abbott" the abbott was not very worldly wise and did'nt know what a "bj" was.. Oh, ok then, here's your 5, 50.
Well, the abbott became more and more curious as every one of the monks was asking for 5, 50.
and, when asked, it was also for a "bj". And so after thinking on this question for a while, he decides to phone the Mother supierior at the small convent, some 5 miles away, as she was a missionary in the middle east in her youth and more worldly wise than himself, and the phone call was made..... Ah, Mother supierior!! i know you must be busy at this time of day, so i'll come strait to the point, whats a bj?.....
5, 50. Father abbott!!! |
