Once upon a time, a young lad was born without a belly
button. In its place, was a silver screw. All the doctors told his mother that
there was nothing they could do. Like it or not, he was stuck with it..... He
was screwed.
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 who 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. The screwy guy
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 imm
ediately 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 solid silver
screwdriver. In just moments, the screwdriver removed the screw and disappeared
out the window.
The next morning when the man awoke, he saw the silver
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...... And his
butt fell off.
The moral to this is:
'Don't screw around with things you don't
understand........ You could lose your ass.'
