Three Wishes

This guy was walking along the beach when he came across
this salt-encrusted piece of metal.

He worked for an hour or so to remove the salt. Lo and
behold it was a very old oil lamp.

The guy started to buff it to remove the verdigris when
"poof" a genie appeared.

This genie, like all genies, was so happy to be freed of the
lamp that he granted the guy three wishes.

"I wish to be a dollar richer than Bill Gates, " says the
guy.

"Guy," the genie said, "You will forever be a dollar richer
than Bill Gates. What's your second wish."

"Genie, I want the most expensive Porsche made: Fire engine
red, on board GPS and the finest audio system ever installed
in an automobile."

"That's easy, Guy," says the genie. He waves his hand and
best car anybody had ever seen pops out of the lamp.

The genie then asks the guy for his third wish.

The guy mulls the problem over and over. A girl... Nah. With
billions and billions of dollars he certainly had become a
chick magnet. World peace? Only wackos want that. The guy
found a reason not to wish for anything that came to his
mind.

"Genie," the guy said, "I can't think of anything now. May I
save the third wish for later."

"Gee, this is most unusual. But you hold the hammer, I can't
escape from this lamp until you make a third wish. Call me
when you're ready," and whoosh the genie disappears into the
lamp.

The guy carefully picks up the now-ever-so- valuable lamp
and places it in the trunk of the fire engine red Porsche.
He turns the radio on to balance the sounds and makes all
the other adjustments needed to get his great audio system
customized to his ears.

After that, he pulled off the beach and headed south along
the Pacific Coast Highway.

Soon he was up to 60, then 70, then 80. The Porsche handled
perfectly.

The guy was so happy that he began to sing along with the
familiar commercial on the radio.

"Oh, I wish I was an Oscar-Mayer Wiener..."
