Tall Tales from the Monastery! (Humor)

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty - Atlantic Shore

There was a monastery in the English countryside that had fallen on hard times.  The brothers decided to establish a business to defray their expenses.  They thought about a a bakery or winery.

But being British, they decided to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular and attracted people from all over.

One city fellow, thinking himself quite clever, asked one of the brothers standing nearby, “I suppose you’re the ‘fish friar’?”

“No,” answered the brother, “I’m the ‘chip monk’.”

 

It's Monday, Smile & Make It a Great Week!
