"Okay so, there's this guy and he's driving down a road when suddenly his car breaks down. But, luckily there's this monastery nearby. So he goes to the monastery looking for help. He knocks on the door and he's all like,"
Kat pauses before putting on her best male new yorker accent (which in actuality was quite terrible, athough it's hard to tell if that was purposeful for comedic effect), "My car broke down. Do ya think I could stay the night?"
Her voice morphs into a more calming and melodic character voice,"Of course sir, come in,"
Then finally she reverts back to her normal voice,"The monks then take him in, they feed him, they fix his car and when the man goes to sleep they give him the nicest bed. But as he's trying to go to sleep that night he hears a strange sound. The next morning he of course ya know asks the monks what it was. The monks tell him sorry we can't tell you, you're not a monk. So the mans kind of upset but he thanks them and leaves. A few years pass and the same man is driving down the same road. When his car breaks down. Again. So, he of course goes to the monastery asks for their help. The monks once again, feed him, fix his car and give him the best bed. That night as he's trying to fall asleep he hears the noise that heard all those years ago. The next morning he's all like what is that noise? And the monks are once again telling him that they can't tell him because he is not a monk," Kat pauses taking a breath.
"So, this guy is desperate now. He really wants to know what the hell is making that noise. And desperate times call for desperate measures and since the only way he can find out is by becoming a monk, he asks them how to become a monk. And then the monks tell him that he must travel the earth and he must count every single blade of grass and every single sand pebble then once he has found these numbers he can become a monk. So of course like any reasonable person that is exactly what he does. For 54 years. He counts blades of grass and sand pebbles. Finally he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. The monks greet him and he's like alright I've got your numbers, he pulls out two long pieces of paper," Kat mimes unrolling a scroll.
"There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth. And the monks kind of are in awe, cause he actually did it. So, they're all like congrats you are now a monk! We'll now lead you to the sound. And the mans like great, finally after all these years I will finally know.
The monks lead the man to a wooden door where the head monk says, The sound is right behind that door. The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked.
So, he says, Real funny. Can 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 demands 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 until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Finally, the monks say, This is the last key to the last door. The man is relieved to know that he has finally reached to the end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound," Kat pauses, "But he can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk."
She leans back on the party bus seat and waits for Ana's reaction. She remembered her own reaction when she had first heard the joke. The sheer amount of fury and anger her ten year old body exuded. Then after some time had passed she realized the comdeic genius of it all. This joke was only funny when delivered well, even then the humour came with time. Kat looked around the bus, checking to see if anyone else had heard the joke.
