    --- A man is driving down the road and breaks
    down near a monastery. He goes to the
    monastery, knocks on the door, and says,
    My car broke down. Do you think I could
    stay the night?

    The monks graciously accept him, feed him
    dinner, and even fix his car. As the man
    tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange
    sound; a sound like no other that he has
    ever heard. The next morning, he asks the
    monks what the sound was, but they say, We
    can't tell you because you're not a monk.




    The man is disappointed but thanks them
    anyway and goes about his merry way. Some
    years later, the same man breaks down in
    front of the same monastery.





    The monks again accept him, feed him, and
    even fix his car..




    That night, he hears the same strange
    mesmerizing sound that he had heard years
    earlier.




    The next morning, he asks what the sound
    was, but the monks reply,

    We can't tell you because you're not a monk.



    The man says, all right, all right. I'm
    dying to know.

    If the only way I can find out what that
    sound was is to become a monk, how do I
    become a monk?


    The monks reply, you must travel the earth
    and tell us how many blades of grass there
    are and the exact number of sand pebbles.
    When you find these numbers, you will
    become a monk.



    The man sets about his task. Some
    forty-five years later, he returns and
    knocks on the door of the monastery. He
    says, I have traveled the earth and
    devoted my life to the task demanded and
    have found what you had asked for. There
    are 371,145,236,284,232 blades of grass
    and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles
    on the earth.



    The monks reply, congratulations, you are
    correct, and you are now considered a monk
    .

    We shall now show you the way to the sound.




    The monks lead the man to a wooden door,
    where the head monk says, the sound is
    behind that door.




    The man reaches for the knob, but the door
    is locked. He asks, May I have the key ?





    The monks give him the key, and he opens
    the door..



    Behind the wooden door is another door
    made of stone.... The man requests the key
    to the stone door..




    The monks give him the key, and he opens
    it, only to find a door made of ruby. He
    demands another key from the monks, who
    provide it. Behind that door is another
    door, this one made of sapphire. And so it
    went on until the man had gone through
    doors of emerald,..





    ..silver, topaz, and amethyst




    Finally, the monks say, This is the key to
    the last door .








    The man is relieved to be at the end. He
    unlocks the door, turns the knob, and
    behind that door he is astonished to find
    the source of that strange sound. It is
    truly an amazing and unbelievable sight




    But I can't tell you what it is because
    you're not a monk.





    DON'T SWEAR AT ME;
    I'M STILL HUNTING FOR THE IDIOT WHO
    STARTED THIS ! but I bet you send it on
