A modern day cowboy, has spent many days, crossing the desert without
water.
His horse has already died of thirst.
He's crawling through the sand, 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 briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.
She is wearing, an Internal Revenue Service ID badge, and a dull gray
dress.
There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a pencil tucked behind
one ear.
"Well, cowboy," says the genie."You know how I work. You have three
wishes."
"I'm not falling for this," says the man. "I'm not going to trust an
IRS auditor genie."
"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 plenty of food and drink."
***POOF***
The cowboy finds himself, in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen.
And he is surrounded with, jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, cowpoke, 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, cowpuncher, 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.
