PEACE

A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a Genie's lamp. She picked
it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared. The amazed woman asked if she got
three wishes.

The Genie said, "Nope...due to inflation, constant down-sizing, low wages in third-world
countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So...what'll it be?"

The woman didn't hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other."

The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Gadzooks, lady! These countries have been at
war for thousands of years. I'm good but not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make
another wish.

"The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man.
You know, one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the housecleaning, is good in bed and gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time and is faithful. That's what I wish for...a good mate.

"The Genie let out a long sigh and said, "Let me see that map again."
