THE WISH! -

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!"
