A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon an unusual
old lamp. She picked it up and cleaned it off, and suddenly 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 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 damn map!” :X
