A traveler had been many days stranded in the desert.
His horse had already died of thirst and he had no water left.
He was crawling through the sand, certain that he had breathed his
last, when all of a sudden, he saw an object sticking out of the
sand several yards ahead of him. He crawled to the object, pulled
it out of the sand, and discovered what looked to be an old brief
case.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.
She is wearing an Internal Revenue Service ID badge and a dull
gray dress. There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a
pencil tucked behind one ear.
"Well, traveler," says the genie... "You know how I work. You have
three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." Says the man. "I'm not going to trust
an IRS auditor genie."
"What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it
looks like you're a goner anyway!"
The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie
is right.
"OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and drink."
***POOF***
The traveler finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever
seen. And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of
delicacies.
"OK, bud, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with
rare gold coins and precious gems.
"OK, honcho, you have just one more wish. Better make it a
good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the man says.. "I wish that no
matter where I go, beautiful women will always want and need me."
***POOF***
She turned him into a tampon.
Moral of the story: If a government ever offers you ANYTHING,
there's going to be a string attached.
