I may have posted this one before, but it’s a goodie:A man finds a lamp on a beach, and of course a genie comes out when he rubs it. The genie grants 3 wishes, but with a caveat: Whatever the man wishes for, his mother-in-law gets twice as much. His first wish is for $10 billion in a Swiss bank account. “Done!” says the genie, “But your mother-in-law now has $20 Billion.” The second wish is for a private tropical island resort, fully staffed and supplied to last him for the rest of his life. “Done, but your mother-in-law has the islands on either side of you.” The genie cautions further, “So far, your mother-in-law is getting the better of this deal, you only have one wish left.” The man replies, “No problem. You see that hill over there? For my final wish I want you to take me behind it, and beat me half to death.”
There was an X-Files episode where Mulder asks a genie for peace on earth and she grants it by getting rid of everyone else in the world. Technically, it’s doable…
Be careful of what you wish for. The easiest way to eliminate all hunger and all disease, and to achieve peace on Earth, would be to eliminate humanity.
