It's in the book 3

A poor old fisherman named Benny was out fishing one day when he caught a strange looking fish. As he began to haul it into the boat, the fish spoke to him. It said "please mister fisherman don't catch me. I am a magic fish and if you let me go I will grant you one wish. But before you wish I must tell you that for the wish to come true you must never shave again. If you do you will be turned instantly into an urn."

Benny thought for a few moments, "If I were rich, I could give my wife a good home, provide good food and health care and put the through school. We could be happy and healthy and I would never have to fish again. All I have to do is stop shaving forever. I could do that,"

"Ok fish" said Benny "I'll do it." and put the strange looking fish back into the water.

"When you go home" said the fish "you will find your wife and waiting for you at the door of your new home, and there will be enough money in your bank account to last you as long as you live, but remember our deal. If you shave even one wisker, you will be instantly turned into an urn forever".

Many years went by and Benny's beard grew and grew. It was so long that some days we would step on it and his face would hurt and bleed. Other days he would sit on it and his face would hurt and bleed. It kept getting into his food, people would laugh at him and it kept getting caught on things.

One day Benny could not take it any more and he thought to himself " I have had a good life, my wife was happy right up to when she passed away from old age. My have had a good education and are all doing very well for themselves, they are health and happy. This beard is really getting me down, so I think I will shave and end it all." With that, Benny got his razor and shave cream. He lathered up, and with the fall of the first whisker, he was turned instantly into an urn.

The moral of this story? A Benny shaved is a Benny urned.

It's in the book!

    He should have braided the beard and wound it up.
that sounds even better than clipping it. Just call him Mr. Rupuzul.

 Thanks for the laugh.
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page: St. Augustine
