Diesel Bombers - THE SILVER SCREW

THE SILVER SCREW

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 were real tough on him, as all who saw
the screw made fun of him. He avoided 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 immediately went to the room and fell asleep.

During the night while he slept, a purple fog floated in an open
window. In the mist floated 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.'

Congress is noted for screwing around with things they don't
understand - like the economy.

That's why we are all losing our asses!
