A local monastery was going bankrupt. The abbot didn’t know what to do. The brothers had a meeting, and decided to open a Great Olde English Fish ‘N’ Chips stand. One day, a man knocked on the door. After one of the brothers answered the door, the man asked, “May I have just an order of fries?”

The brother said, “Hold on a moment. I’m the fish friar. You want the chip monk.”
