Full Time Job One day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside.
He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously and a genie appeared. "I'll grant
you your fondest wish," the genie said. The man thought for a moment, then
said, "I want a spectacular job - a job that no man has ever succeeded at or has
ever attempted to do." "Done!!" said the Genie, "You're a housewife."
The CruiseThere once was a couple who had been
married for many years ... happily married. They had met in their teens, it was
love at first sight. Their families got on well, their friends approved ... they
married young. After bringing up the kids, they decided to take a cruise before
planning a long and happy retirement. They could afford a five-day short trip
around the Mediterranean. The cruise gave them a day wandering around the gift
shops of the Greek island of Santorini. In the back of a dark, almost deserted
store, the wife found a dusty old lamp. She gave it a quick polish, to see what
it could look like ... and out popped our friendly neighborhood genie. "I
usually give just one wish", said the genie, "but I can see that you
two are a couple still in love after all these years; you may each have a wish." "Oooh!"
said the wife, "I'd like to be on a proper ocean cruise ... somewhere in
the South Pacific". And in an instant, she was gone, wafted off to
her dream ... maybe she meant to include her husband, but these wishes tend to
be taken literally. "And you, sir?", asked the genie. Conscious
that he was alone, and the world was at his fingertips, the husband thought long
and hard ... "I'd like a wife thirty years younger than me", he
eventually decided. And in an instant, he aged thirty years, and the genie
disappeared. Moral: Wish for what you will ... but be careful if the
genie is a woman. |
