After you have read and processed that up there, here is a more digestible version, but it loses in original humor and richness, that is why I only add it below, for the more shallow audience, theheheh. :P

Zen master: "I think I heard something."
His wife: "You must be imagining things. There is nothing out there."

A Zen master ordered a hotdog saying, "I'll have one with everything."

 

Upon asking for his change, the man replied, "Change comes from within."
