    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.

    The boy never understood why it was there, but like it or not,
he was stuck with it. All the years of growing up were real tough
on him,  because 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. 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 haze floated in an open window  bearing,
in its mist, a golden screwdriver. In justa few moments, the
screwdriver removed the screw and then disappeared out of the window.

    The next morning, when the boy awoke, he saw the golden screw
lying on  the pillow next to him. Reaching down, he felt his navel, and
found  that there was no screw there! Jubilant, he leaped out of bed,
and his  butt fell off.

    The moral of this story is: Don't screw around with things you
don't understand - you could lose your ass
