A woman was walking along the sand on the NSW Central Coast, when she stumbled upon an old brass lamp. She picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold, out popped a genie.

The genie said, "Hey Girl, waassup?"

The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes. "Nope, just one wish. Due to inflation, constant downsizing, low wages and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So..what'll it be?"

Unhesitatingly, the woman said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other, now and forever."



The Genie looked at the map and shrieked, "Girrrll, I don't think so, not in my lifetime!! These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm GOOD Honey, but not THAT GOOD. I don't think it can be done. So make another wish."

The woman's thought for a moment and said, "Well, I've never been able to find 'Mr. Right'. You know, a man who's considerate and fun, warm and affectionate, gorgeous, is well endowed, only wants sex with me, doesn't do drugs or drink too much, has a great job with a good income, loves to travel, goes to the theatre, likes to cook and help with the housecleaning, gets along with my family and tells me I always look fabulous, and is great in bed. That's what I wish for...the perfect guy to have as my lover."



The genie let out a long sigh, clutched his hand to his heart and said, "let me see that map again".
