Noise Abatement

"Noise Abatement"

Tower: "Alpha Charlie, climb immediately to
4000 feet for noise abatement."

Pilot: "How can I possibly be creating excess
noise at 3000 feet?"

Tower: "At 4000 feet, you will miss the 707 now
coming at you at 3000 feet, and that is bound
to avoid one heck of a racket....

"Monastery Of Silence"

Brother Baku entered the 'Monastery of Silence'
and the Head Friar said, "Welcome Brother, this
is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as
long as you like, but you may not speak until I
direct you to do so."

Brother Baku lived in the monastery for 5 years
before the Head Friar said to him: "Brother Baku,
you have been here 5 years now, you may speak
two words." Brother Baku said, "Hard Bed."

"I'm sorry to hear that" the Head Friar said. "We
will get you a better bed.

After another 5 years, Brother Baku was called by
the Head Friar. "You may say another two words Brother Baku."

"Cold Food." said Brother Baku, and the Head Friar
assured him that the food would be better in the future.

On his 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Head
Friar summoned Brother Baku to hear his allowed "2-words".

"I Quit." said Brother Baku.

"It is probably best." said the Head Friar. "You've
done nothing but complain since you've been here."
