Subj : Sticky door
A group of monks lived at a monastery with a sticky door. They used an old hand held fan, whose handle fit perfectly into a notch in the door jamb, to pry the door open. One day one of the priests reached for the fan, which was hanging by the door. He didn't know that a cockroach had climbed into the fan and was nestled up inside. When he took the fan, the frightened cockroach jumped out of the fan right into the priest's face. Reacting instinctively, the priest knocked the roach off and immediately stomped on it rather heavily, killing the roach.
The moral: Don't jump out of the prying fan and into the friar.
