I am sure many who are here would identify with this story
because nothing else comes when they are emotional and insult.

A man decides that he wants to become a monk. So he goes to the monastery and is informed that before he can become a monk, he must pass two tests: "First," says the head monk, "We will put you in a cell for six months. You will have nothing to eat or drink but bread and water. And each entire day must be spent reading THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
"Then," he continues, "should you pass the first test, you will be ready for the second test.
For this, we put you in a room and take off all your clothes. We then tie a little bell to your male member and then we walk a nude nun through the room. Should that little bell make any sound at all, I am afraid you will be deemed unfit to join the monastery."
So they put him in a cell with nothing but bread and water and he does nothing but read THE HOLY SCRIPTURES for six months. At the end of this time, he is once again brought before the head monk.
"Are you ready for the second test?" asks the head monk.
"I am," says the man.
He is taken into a room and stripped down. They put the little bell on him, then they walk
a nude nun through the room.
Well, right away his bell starts ringing.
The monk says to him, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you must leave."
"Wait a minute," says the man. "Are you going to tell me that every priest in this monastery has passed this test?"
"Every one," says the chief monk.
"Before I will agree to leave," says the man in defiance, "I demand proof. I want to see ten monks pass this test."
"All right," says the head monk. They get ten monks in the room, undress them, line them
up, and put bells on them.
The nude nun then walks through and there is nothing but dead silence. Except of course for the first man's bell, which is ringing like crazy. As a matter of fact, it rings so hard that it falls off. When the man bends over to pick it up, all the other ten bells ring.
