Be Careful What You Wish For

A man is walking down the street when he sees a strange-looking lamp lying in the gutter. He picks it up and brushes some of the dirt off with his shirtsleeve. Suddenly there's a puff of smoke, and a genie appears in front of him.

"You have freed me from the prison of that lamp, my friend," the genie says. "In gratitude, I'll grant you three wishes."

The man hardly misses a beat. "I'd like the grandest mansion in Acapulco, a sports car like no other in the world, and a houseful of beautiful women who wait on me night and day."

Says the genie, "You idiot. Do you think that if I were able to produce all that I would lived all these years inside that blasted lamp?"
