1. A never emptying Wallett that cannot be stolen.2. The Phone Numbers and addresses of Women in your age range who are looking for a Man of your attributes.3. The ability to see to the heart of any problem presented to you.
I think the lawyers got to the genie in this cartoon. This is the equivalent to warnings on shampoo bottles telling us “not to be taken internally.”
Jeannie (Barbara Eden) was the wisest genie of all. Once her powers were temporarily transferred to Major Nelson. He was musing about all the amazing things he could now do — including curing the common cold. She pointed out that in the complicated world in which we live, curing the common cold could accidentally unleash a dozen other diseases.
If a magical genie offered me three wishes, I’d immediately go into analytical mode. If I wished to have all of Superman’s powers, for example (most of which defy the laws of physics in our universe) could that wish be granted, or would I find myself permanently living in a graphic novel? Instead of just wishing for money, I might wish that the next lottery ticket I bought won the grand prize, to avoid suspicion that anything supernatural was involved. What happens to the genie after I make my three wishes? Is he/she going to grant someone else a bunch of wishes that could negate mine? Questions, questions.

1. Enough money to get rid of my student loans. That’s about all I need.

Loved it!!! Also the newest Geico commercial. The guy asks for bucks. Shows you show never use slang when dealing with genies.
