An Arab has spent many days crossing
the desert without finding a source of water.
It gets so bad that 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 a shiny object sticking out of the sand
several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the
object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers
that he has a Manischevitz wine bottle. It appears
that there may be a drop or two left in the bottle,
so he unscrews the top and out pops a genie.
But this is no ordinary genie. This genie
appears to be a Hassidic rabbi, complete
with black alpaca coat, black hat, side curls, etc.
"Well, kid," says the genie.
"You know how it works. You have three wishes."
"I'm not going to trust you," says the Arab.
"I'm not going to trust a Jewish genie!"
"What do you have to lose?
It looks like you're a goner anyway!"
The Arab 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 Arab finds himself in
the most beautiful oasis he has everseen.
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 Arab 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 Arab says:
"I wish I were white and surrounded by beautiful women."
***POOF*** The Arab is turned into a Tampax.
The moral of the story is:
Be careful of what you wish for.
There may be a string attached. LOL
