“Why am I
locked in this tower?” asked the maid.
“Because
of your hair,” replied the man.
“Why is my
hair so special?” asked the maid.
“Because
your hair is power,” replied the man.
“Why is my
hair power?” asked the maid.
“Because with
your hair I can summon the Djinn.”
“But what
will that benefit?” asked the maid.
“Once I
have mastered the Djinn, I shall summon others.”
“And what
will that benefit?” asked the maid.
“Once they
are mastered I shall summon God!”
“Do you
believe the Gods can be summoned?”
“Of
course,” replied the man.
“Even if
they choose not to be?”
“When I
have mastered,” said the man, “I shall be as a God.”
“Now I see
why I am within this tower.”
“I do not
understand,” said the man.
“It is to
protect my power from foolishness,” said she.
“But I
have the key to the tower of knowledge,” said he.
“But you
shall not enter.”
“But I
have the key.”
“But the
door is bolted on the inside”
“But I
have the key!”
“Nevertheless, you shall not enter unless I choose.”

Sounds like a date I was on once years ago. I thought I had the key, too.
