Sister Mary Katherine joined a monastery.
Father Barry informed her: "Sister Mary Katherine, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so."
Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before Father Barry said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words."
Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Father Barry said, "We will get you a better bed."
After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was summoned by Father Barry, who told her, "You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine."
"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and Father Barry assured her that the food would be better in the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, Father Barry again called Sister Mary Katherine in to his office and said, "You may say two words today."
"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.
"It's probably for the best," said Father Barry, "You've done nothing but b!tch since you got here."
