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, while surfing the internet, he learned of a swami in Tibet
that could get rid of the screw for him. He was thrilled. The next
day he took 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 awoke, 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 butt.
