A fella's life has gone off the rails a bit so he decides perhaps the answer to his problems may lay in giving himself over to religious asceticism.
He's aware of a remote monastery and goes there to become a monk. The abbot of course welcomes him but makes sure he understand the strict vows he must observe. One of them is a vow of silence but allows three words to be uttered once a year.
He agrees to observe all the restrictions and rules of his new life so the abbot gives him simple robes, sandals and a blanket and shows him to his small, spartan living quarters. He settles in quickly and embraces his new life.
At the end of his first year he approaches the abbot and utters the three words he's allowed: ''Blanket too thin''.
He gets his replacement blanket and goes back to his room.
At the end of the second year he again approaches the abbot and utters his next three words: ''Robes getting threadbare''. With a slightly annoyed look on his face the abbot gives him replacement robes and the man again returns to his little room.
The end of the third year sees him again approaching the abbot. "Sandals are broken". The abbot is obviously well ticked this time and shoves new sandals at the man.
Not long after this the man feels he is ready to return to his previous life. He informs the abbot that he's leaving the monastery.
''Good riddance'' the abbot scowls. ''You haven't stopped bloody complaining since you got here!''
