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.

How about those people, especially business employees or doctors staff employees, when asked a question will give an answer, any answer, a wrong answer even when they have no clue as to what the correct answer should be. It is my belief that they do this so the questioner won't think them stupid. Why is it so difficult to say "I don't know" but I will find out and let you know ?? I couldn't even guess how many times I have been given the wrong answer to a simple question.
