"The Golden Screw"
Once upon a time, a young lad was born without a belly
button. In its place was a golden screw. All the doctors
told his mother that there was nothing they could do.
Like it or not, he was stuck with it.
All the years of growing up were real tough on him, as
all who saw the screw made fun of him. He avoided
ever leaving his house and thus, never made any friends.
One day, a mysterious stranger saw his belly and told him
of a swami in Tibet that could get rid of the screw for him.
He was thrilled. The next day he took all of his life's savings
and bought a ticket to Nepal! After several days of climbing
up steep cliffs, he came upon a giant monastery. The swami
knew exactly why he had come. He was told to sleep in the
highest tower of the monastery and the following day when
he awoke, the screw would have been removed.
The man immediately went to the room and fell asleep.
During the night while he slept, a purple fog floated in an
open window, bearing in its mist, a golden screwdriver.
In just moments, the screwdriver removed the screw and
disappeared out the window. The next morning when the
man woke, he saw the golden screw lying on the pillow
next to him. Reaching down, he felt his navel, and there
was no screw there! Jubilant, he leaped out of bed,
..... and his butt fell off.
The moral to this is: "Don't screw around with things you
don't understand -- you could lose your butt."
