The joke that keeps me laughing . . .

I think we all need reasons to laugh because it's easy to forget that life can be taken too seriously. I hope this joke makes you laugh the same way it made me laugh!

The new monk is assigned to copy the old texts by hand. Noticing that he'll be copying from copies and not from the original manuscripts, he tells an elderly monk, "If there was an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all the subsequent copies."
