Three wishes
|
| An eighty-year-old woman is sitting on her porch one day when she
| sees an old lamp near the bottom of her steps. She picks it up,
| rubs it gently, and lo and behold, a genie appears. The genie tells
| the woman that he will grant her any three wishes her heart desires.
|
| She says immediately:
| - "I would like to be young and beautiful."
| And POOF! In a cloud of smoke she becomes a young, beautiful,
| voluptuous blond.
| The genie says:
| - "And what, madam, will be your second wish?"
| The beautiful woman says:
| - "I would like to be rich for the rest of my life."
| POOF! When the smoke clears, there are stacks and stacks of
| hundred-dollar bills all around her.
| The genie then says:
| - "Now, madam, what will be your final wish?"
| Says the woman:
| - "Well, I would like for you to turn my old faithful cat, whom
| I have loved dearly for fifteen years, into a young, handsome prince."
|
| And with another puff of smoke, the cat is changed into a tall
| handsome prince with dark hair and a glittering medal on his coat.
| The first thing the prince does is lean over to the woman and whisper
| into her ear:
| - "Now, aren't you sorry you had me neutered?"
