    My Genie couldn't cope either

    This was sent to me and it tickled my fancy. I thought it might give you a chuckle too.


    A woman rubbed a bottle and out popped a genie. The amazed woman
    asked if she got three wishes. The genie said, "Nope, sorry, three-wish
    genies are a storybook myth. I'm a one-wish genie. So... what'll it be?"

    The woman did not hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East.
    See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other and
    I want all the Arabs to love the Jews and Americans and vice-versa.
    It will bring about world peace and harmony."
    The genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be reasonable.
    These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm out of shape
    after being in a bottle for five hundred years.. I'm good but not THAT good!
    I don't think it can be done.
    Make another wish and please be reasonable."

    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 help with the house cleaning, is great in bed, and gets along
    with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful.
    That is what I wish for...a good man."


    The genie let out a sigh and said, "Let me see the bloody map again
