Genie's Lamp :)

[atma]

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 got 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 housecleaning, 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 freakin'

map!"
