There are two RC monks sitting in a monastery. One says to the other "These documents we're always hand-copying...they've always been hand-copied, right?"
"Well, yes...of course," says the other monk.
"So, what if, in the past 2,000 years," says the first monk, "Somebody misspelled something or got a word wrong, and we've been copying that mistake ever since?"
"Well, that's a good question," says the second monk, "That could really be a problem. Wait a minute, I know think we have the original documents somewhere in the basement. Tell you what--stay here and I'll go see if I can find them."
So the second monk goes down into the basement. After waiting several hours, the first monk decides to go look for him. So he goes down there, and sure enough, he sees the other monk. But he's crying.
"Why are you crying?" he asks.
"It says CELEBRATE."
"Well, yes...of course," says the other monk.
