Cheers Billy 8-{) Actually, they probably died out pretty quickly because recruiting would have been a bit of a bastard, and they found that they could never explain the rules without breaking them. :D	Billy T (70)

A man joined a monastery and was told that there was to be strict silence at all times as they were Passalorynchites. The head of the sect was allowed to speak but others must remain silent with one exception. The exception was that once every five years they would be allowed to say two words. The meals were frugal and he was always hungry. At last, the first five year period was up. He was invited to utter two words. He said, "More food". From that time on he found that the meals had improved and he was no longer hungry. As he was always cold, he couldn't wait for the next five year period to finish. At last it was completed and he was invited to say two words again. He said "more blankets". Sure enough he got more blankets and no longer shivered at night. Eventually the third five year period was completed and once again he was called before the head of the sect and invited to say two words. This time though, he decided he could not stand it any longer, so he said, "I'm leaving". He was taken aback at the reply though. The head of the sect said, "And good riddance to you too, you've done nothing but complain ever since you got here". :horrified	xxll (5902)
