A bishop is visiting a Benedictine Monastery. The Bishop tours the monastery with the prior, stopping in the library, where monks are copying texts by hand.
"The brothers copy a book, copy the copy, copy the copy of the copy, and so on, so that knowledge may be preserved," the prior tells the bishop.
The bishop asks, "but what if a mistake is made? By copying from copies, mistakes would accumulate and be repeated indefintely."
The prior frowns and leaves the bishop to check some of the oldest books kept in the library basement vault. After some time, the bishop becomes impatient for the prior's return and goes to look for him. He finds the prior weeping in the basement before a large dusty tome.
"What is it?" the bishop asks.
"The rule of St. Benedict... it says 'celibrate'"

A young doctor had moved out to a small community to
replace a doctor who was retiring. The older gent suggested
the young one accompany him on his rounds so the community
could become used to a new doctor. At the first house a woman
complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach."
The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh
fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if
that does the trick?"
As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman.
How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?"
"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor
in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana
peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick."
"Huh," the younger doctor said, "Pretty clever. I think I'll try that
at the next house."
Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with an
elderly woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she
once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."
"You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger
doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that
helps."
As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly
correct, but how did you arrive at it?"
"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope.
When bent down to retrieve it,
I noticed the preacher under the bed."
