If I Had One Wish

If I Had One Wish. . . .

A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a Genie’s lamp. She picked it up, rubbed it, and a Genie appeared. The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes.

The Genie said, “No. Due to inflation, constant down-sizing and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So, what’ll it be?”

The woman didn’t hesitate. She said, “I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other.”

The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, “Lady, these countries have been at war for thousands of years. I’m good but not THAT good! Make another wish.”

“The woman thought for a minute and said, “Well, I’ve never been able to find the right man. You know, one that’s considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the housecleaning, is romantic, gets along with my family, doesn’t watch sports all the time and is faithful. That’s what I wish for – a perfect husband.”

The Genie let out a long sigh and said, “Let me see that map again.”
