There was once a man named Benny.

One day he was confronted by a very high god who announced that Benny could have anything that his heart desired. Benny replied that he would have the hand of the fair lady that he fancied. This being agreed to by the god, Benny was advised that he would be required to never shave his beard again. If Benny were to shave he would be cursed and changed forever into a large earthen vessel.

Benny agreed.

But as half-hearted Greek mythologies go, Benny soon forgot his vow. And the beard, which was now down to his knees and interfering with his love life with the fair maiden of his choice, simply had to go. Benny decided to shave. This he did and the curse followed.

Moral: A Benny shaved is a Benny urned.
