A professor went to visit a Zen monastery to learn the ways of Zen. He excitedly told the monk all that he'd heard and read, asking the monk to confirm or expound on this detail or that.

After a few minutes, the monk offered the man a cup of tea. He placed the cup on a table, began to pour, and continued to pour even as the cup was full and overflowing.

"What are you doing?" the professor demanded. "The cup is already overfilled and still you pour!" The monk smiled gently.

"My bad," he responded. "I smoked a joint out in the garden before you got here and I'm pretty baked right now. But yeah, Zen basically owns."
