Our hilarity source, the joke of the day, is here, so let’s get ready for some fun. This one’s entitled “Zen and the Art of Skygazing.”
A group of students at an ashram are sitting outside at night, enjoying the serene atmosphere. The Zen master then joins them.
“Students, can anyone tell me why I asked you to sit outside?”
“Master, is it so we can be still and receive Divine inspiration?”
“Your response is commendable, yet it’s not entirely accurate. Anyone else?”
“Is it to enhance our inner contemplation?”
“No. I guess I better tell you, otherwise we’ll be here all night. It’s so simple – just to enjoy the Moon.”
