A monastery in the English countryside has fallen on hard times, and the monks decide to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular, attracting people from all over.
A traveller dined in for lunch one day. He exclaimed that this was the most delicious fish and chips he had ever eaten. Seeing the chefs emerge from the kitchen, he raced over and asked one of the brothers standing nearby, "I suppose you're the 'fish friar?’"
"No," answered the brother, straight-faced. "I'm the 'chip monk.'"
