> Benny worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His primary
> job was to keep the exhibits clean and polished. One day he
> happened to be dusting around the Arabian exhibit, and he
> noticed an ancient urn that needed some cleaning. He got out
> his dust rag and began polishing. Lo and behold, an enormous
> genie appeared before him.
>
> "Master," the genie began, "I am the genie of the urn. I can
> grant you three wishes, but there is one condition I will
> put on you: You must never shave or cut your beard for the
> rest of your life, or you will be forced to take my place
> inside the urn forever."
>
> Benny thought about it for a bit, and decided it was a fair
> condition for three wishes. So Benny wished for 49 percent
> of the total Microsoft stock, which was promptly granted.
> Then he wished for the most beautiful woman in the world as
> his wife, and lo and behold, she was. Finally, he wished for
> fame and fortune, and he instantly became a worldwide
> celebrity.
>
> Over the years, Benny's beard became longer and longer until
> it almost reached the floor. As it grew longer, it began to
> itch. He tried to ignore it, but the itch became more and
> more irritating, while the memory of the genie's warning
> faded.
>
> Finally he decided he had to get rid of the beard and he
> shaved it off. Instantly he was trapped in the urn, to stay
> there forever.
>
> The moral of the story: A Benny shaved is a Benny urned.
