There was once a man named Benny who let his beard grow and grow and grow, because a very old witch had told him that if he never shaved that he would never die. If he shaved, however, she warned that he would die and be cremated. As it happened, Benny then met a young lady who was everything he ever desired, and she loved him, too -- except for all those whiskers! So, Benny decided that since he was healthy and since the old witch was surely mistaken or dead by then, he could shave off his beard. And Benny shaved off his beard, whereupon he immediately died and was cremated just as the old witch had warned, which only goes to show that a Benny shaved is a Benny urned.
