Okay, I got this off of stupid.com under Stupid Jokes. I found this link on virtualsue's home node :)

It is a pretty lame joke, but the fact that it is the joke of the day for May 19th, 2002 is pretty cool!

THE THREE MONKS

The monks in a monastery were sworn to silence. But three of the monks made a secret pact. Once a year, one of them could say one sentence.

At breakfast, the monk who had not spoken for three years looked up from his bowl and said, "I hate oatmeal!" And that was his sentence for the next three years.

After one year of total silence, the second monk replied, "Well, I happen to like oatmeal." And that was his sentence for the next three years.

After another year passed, the third monk slammed his mug on the table and said, "I'm sick and tired of this constant bickering about oatmeal!"
