Two Monks Have an Idea
The monastery was having a bit of a hard time with its cash flow, because of the dwindling number of monks available to help with all the work of the group.
Brother Andrew and Brother Patrick suggested opening up a Fish & Chips stand down on the motor way, right next to the scenic vista area so popular with tourists.
The venture was going well, and one day a tourist asked the monk on duty, “Are you the fish friar?”
“No, sir,” exclaimed the brother, “I’m the chip monk.”
