    Default Forgive moi

    I apologise in advance...

    A
    man is driving down the road and breaks down near a
    monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and
    says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the
    night?
    The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even
    fix his car. As the man tries to
    fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no other
    that he has ever heard.
    The next morning, he asks the monks what the
    sound was, but they say, We can't tell you because
    you're not a monk.
    The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes
    about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks
    down in front of the
    same monastery.
    The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his
    car..
    That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound
    that he had heard years earlier.
    The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks
    reply,

    We can't tell you because you're not a monk.

    The man says, all right, all right. I'm dying to know.

    If the only way I can find out what that
    sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a
    monk?
    The monks reply, you must travel the earth and tell us how
    many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand
    pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a
    monk.
    The man sets about his task. Some thirty-five years later,
    he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says,
    I have travelled the earth and devoted my life to the task
    demanded and have found what you had asked for. There are
    371,996,145,236,284,232 blades of grass and
    231,779,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the
    earth.

    The monks reply, congratulations, you are correct, and you
    are now considered a monk .

    We shall now show you the way to the sound.

    The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head
    monk says, the sound is behind that door.
    The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He
    asks, May I have the key ?
    The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
    Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone...
    The man
    requests the key to the stone door.
    The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a
    door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks,
    who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one
    made of sapphire. And so
    it went on until the man had gone through doors of
    emerald,...

    ..silver, topaz,
    and amethyst.

    Finally, the monks say,
    This is the key to the last door .

    The man is relieved to be at the end. He unlocks the door,
    turns the knob, and behind that door he is astonished to
    find the source of that strange sound. It is truly an
    amazing and unbelievable sight








    . But I can't tell you what it is because you're
    not a monk.

    I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore
