the genie and the golf ball?
A married couple were playing golf one day on an exclusive course,
surrounded by very expensive and beautiful houses. On the third hole, which
had a very narrow fairway, the husband said:
- Darling, take real care on this one that you do not mis-hit the ball. If
your ball hits one of those houses and breaks a window, it will cost us an
arm and a leg.
The words were hardly out of his mouth when she hit a horrendous slice and
the ball went straight through a large window of one of the houses.
- Oh God, I told you to be careful!, He said
- Oh dear, what are we going to do now? She wailed
-Well, said he, we have no choice other than to go over there, apologise,
and offer to pay for the damage. So off they went and knocked at the door.
They heard a voice saying:
- You can come in.
Opening the door, full of trepidation at what might be awaiting them, they
went in. There they saw broken glass from the window, all over the floor,
and a broken bottle near the sofa, upon which a man was sitting. He
appeared quite calm and said:
- Are you the ones responsible for breaking this window?
- Yes, we are. We are very sorry and would like to pay for the damage -
replied the husband.
- No way- said the man- I would like to thank both of you sincerely. I am a
genie who has been imprisoned for thousands of years in that bottle - he
went on indicating the broken bottle on the floor. Now you have freed me. I
have the power to grant three wishes. To show my gratitude to you, I will
grant you each one wish. The third wish I will keep for myself. What do you
say?
- That sounds good to me! - said the husband.- What do you think Darling?.
-Fine by me. You go first- she said
-OK, said the husband,- I want a million dollars a year for the rest of my
life.
- No problem, that is the least I can do for you. Your wish is my command.
And now you, what is your wish - said the genie, eyeing the wife.
- I would like a house in every country in the world,- she replied.
- Consider it done. - said the genie.
- And now, what is your wish o Genie? - the husband asked.
-Well, as I have been bottled up, a prisoner for thousands of years, I have
had no chance to have any sex. My wish is to make love to your wife.
The husband looked at his wife and said:
-Well, Darling, we have got stacks of money and heaps of houses. I suppose
the least we can do is agree to his wish. It does not seem a great price to
pay.
The wife agreed and went off with the genie to the bedroom. There they
passed a couple of rather agreeable hours. As they were getting dressed,
the genie looked at her and asked:
- How old is your husband?
- 35 - she replied.
- And you?
- 29.
- My, my, and you both still believe in genies?
