Message: [QUOTE="Steelerone, post: 3690451, member: 8313"] A young lady joins the Order Of The Silent Sisters. The Mother Superior tells her, "We don't want you to think we are without feelings. Every five years you may say four words." Five years go by. She has lost ten pounds and some of her hair. She is up every morning at 6am for prayers and then laundry and housekeeping. The Mother superior calls her in and says, "It's been five years. You can say 4 words." The young nun thinks for a few seconds and replies, "The food's is cold." "Oh, well, we'll try to do something about that" the Mother Superior replied. Another five years go by. The young nun is down to 100 pounds. She has no fingernails and her vision is fading. Her knees are skinless from kneeling in prayer. Mother Superior calls her in and tells her she can say 4 more words. "My Mattress is hard.". "Oh, well, we'll try to do something about that." Another 5 years go by. She's down to eighty pounds. Her skin is sagging. She can barely walk even with a cane. When Mother Superior calls her in for her 4 words she leans over the desk and in a barely audible voice says, "I'm going to quit." Mother Superior stands up and says, "I think that's just as well. All you've done since you've been here is complain." [/QUOTE]
