gerry375A 21st Century genie tale
A modern day cowboy is lost in desert country. His horse has already died of thirst and he himself is now reduced to crawling along the ground.
He sees a dark object sticking out of the ground. He tugs on it and it turns out to be a briefcase. he opens it and out pops an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) female auditor, badge, calculator in her purse and all.
The female IRS auditor says: " OK, you know the drill. You have three wishes".
The cowboy says: " I want to be in a cool lovely place with lots of water, food and beautiful women serving me".
POOF! His wish is granted.
Next the cowboy says: " I want to be rich beyond wildest dreams!"
POOF! His wish is granted.
The female IRS auditor reminds the cowboy that he has only one more wish -and to make it good.
The cowboy thinks -and then smiles to himself. He says: " I want beautiful women always to want and to need me".
POOF! He's turned into a tampon.
The moral is - When the government offers you something there always is a string attached!
