From the BBC Newsmail:
A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a bottle. She picked it up and rubbed it, and, lo and behold, a genie appeared!
The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes.
The genie said, "I'm 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.?
The genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be reasonable. 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 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 who's considerate and fun, likes to cook and help around the house, is a great lover, is faithful, gets along with my family and doesn't watch sport all the time. Surely that's simple enough?"
The genie let out a sigh and finally said "Let me see that map again".
