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 was 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 of the window.



The next morning when the man woke, he saw the golden screw laying on the

pillow next to him. Reaching down, he felt his navel, and there was no screw

there!



Jubilant, he leaped out of bed, but in seconds, his butt fell off.



The moral to this is, "Don't screw around with things you don't understand

or you'll lose your ****"
