The Coffee Place's Joke Stack
The Abbot of the Monastery was very strict in his routine. Each morning he'd come out of his cell, go into the main room where all the monks were sitting, and chant "Good Morning."
They would chant back "Good Morning."
At the evening meal, he'd enter the room and sing "Good Evening," and they would reply in kind.
One morning though, in response to his greeting, he distinctly heard one monk sing, "Good Evening." Wondering if his ears were going, he sang, "Good Morning," only to hear the anomalous greeting again.
Looking about the room, he sang "Someone Chanted `Evening.'"
