A recently divorced woman is walking along the beach contemplating
how badly treated she got over the divorce settlement,
when she spies a magic lamp washing up onshore. She rubs
the lamp, and out pops a magical genie!
The genie notices her anger and lets her vent her troubles
to him. As a consolation, the genie informs her that he
will give her three wishes. But, he cautions her that
because he does not believe in divorce, he will give her
ex-husband ten times the amount of whatever she wishes.
The woman is steaming mad, thinking that this is hardly
fair, but she makes her first wish. The first wish was
for a billion dollars. The genie grants her wish and she
finds herself sitting in pile of one billion one-dollar
bills. The genie then reminds her that her husband is
now the recipient of 10 billion dollars.
The woman can barely contain her anger when she makes
her second wish. The second wish was for a beautiful mansion
on the shore of her own private beach. In an instant it
was granted, but the genie then reminds again that her
ex-husband now owns ten of what she wished for, and points
out at the beach to a small development of ten such mansions.
Upon hearing this, the woman takes her time to contemplate
her last wish. Just as the genie was about to give up
on her, the woman informs the genie that she wants to
make the last wish. But, before she can do this, the genie
again warns her that her ex-husband will get ten times
what she wishes for.
"No problem," said the woman as she grinned
in ecstasy. "For my last wish...I'd like to give
birth to twins."
