There is actually a medical condition called "Monk's Syndrome".
As you know, monks lead a chaste life, and many monks deny themselves sexual pleasure etc.
And we notice this and see this because many monks have prostatic pathologies, an effect due to lack of masturbation and lack of ejaculatory release.
A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church
by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes
to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked
up! In fact, 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."
He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked
vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing,
"We missed the "R" ! , we missed the "R" !" His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.
The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"
With A choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was... "
CELEBRATE!!!"
