GOVERNMENT GENIE
A man has spent many days crossing the desert without water.
His camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain that
he has breathed his last, when all of a sudden he sees an object
sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him.
He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what
looks to be an old brief case. He opens it and out pops a genie. But
this is no ordinary genie. He is wearing a Canada Revenue ID badge and
dull grey suit. There's a calculator in his pocket. He has a pencil
tucked behind one ear.
"Well, kid," says the genie. "You know how it works. You have three
wishes."
"I'm not falling for this," says the man. "I'm not going to trust an
auditor."
"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 plentiful food and
drink."
***POOF***
The man finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen. And
he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, kid, 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, kid, 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 want and need me."
***POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything, there's
going to be a string attached.
