Three wishes

    One day a government worker was digging through his office drawers when suddenly he came upon a magic lamp.

    Since he had heard these jokes before, he knew that he had to rub the lamp and make the genie come out.

    So he rubbed the lamp and — oh, surprise — out popped a genie.

    The genie asked, as genies would, “What is your first wish?”

    The government worker thought about it for a second, then replied, “I would like to be rich!”

    So the genie granted him his wish. And poof the man was surrounded by piles of money rivaling the heaps of even Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.

    Since the government worker knew the whole wish process, the genie didn’t even have to ask for his second wish before he said,

    “My second wish is to be on an island with beautiful women surrounding me and admiring me!” And poof, he was there.

    Then the government worker decided on his third wish. He said, “I don’t want to do any work ever again!”

    And poof — ubiquitous ironic twist — he was back in his office.
