Scooby Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Prince Charles was knownto spend time chilling out in a Greek monastery a few years ago and it is said that he was given the great tour of the place and eventuallyhe ended up in a scriptorium where all these monks are sat patientlyilluminating and copying manuscripts.Prince Charles then said to the Abbot "I see that you are copyingcopies of copies of the manuscripts how do you know they are correct?"The Abbot then replied "It is faith your Highness" and he then went off to prayers while Prince Charles had a wander round.Later it was noticed that the Abbot was missing dinner, something whichwas very unusual, so a minor monk was sent to find him. After severalhours of searching the Abbot was found in one of the deepest cellarsweeping and wailing bashing his head onto the desk below a very oldmanuscript.The minor monk said "Is everything OK father Abbot you seem distressed?"The Abbot then replied "The original says celebrate!!"
