A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a
Genie's lamp. She
picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared. The
amazed
woman asked if she was going to receive the usual three wishes. The
Genie
said, "Nope ... due to inflation, constant downsizing, low wages in
third-world
countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one
wish. So ...
what'll it be?"
The woman didn't hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle
East. See this
map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other." The
Genie
looked at the map and exclaimed, "Gadzooks, lady! These countries
have been at
war for thousands of years. I'm good, but not THAT good! I don't
think it can
be done. Make another wish."
The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been
able to find the
right man. You know, one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook
and helps
with the house cleaning, is good in bed and gets along with my
family, doesn't
watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That's what I wish for
... a good
mate." The Genie let out a long sigh and said, "Let me see that
f*ing map!"
