We All Need To Vent--Maybe?
As the story goes a guy needs solitude so he goes to a monastery high on a mountain. The Abbot informs him that he has to take the vow of silence. However on every one year anniversary he can speak two words to the Abbot.
The man is escorted to his room. He finds many faults with the room. On his 1st anniversary he says to the Abbot while pointing up to the ceiling "bed wet". The Abbot goes about making sure the hole in the roof above the man's bed is repaired.
On the 2nd anniversary the man appears before the Abbot and says "room cold". Again the Abbot responds and repairs a broken window which had been allowing the cold mountain winds to overtake this man's room.
On his 3rd anniversary the man addresses the Abbot again and says "bed hard" whereupon the Abbot responds b----that's all you do is b----
So much for venting.
