The Genie

[michael.magorian]

So, Jerry walks into a bar and sits down next to his friend Bill. Bill looks at Jerry and says, "So what's new?"

"You gotta check this out," replied Jerry. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little 10 in piano. A perfect miniture with working pedals and keys.

Bill says, "Whoa, that's pretty neat. Where did you get something so detailed?"

"Oh, that's not even the kicker." says Jerry. Jerry reaches into his pocket and pulls out a 10 in piano player. The piano player sits down and starts playing songs on request.

Bill says, "That is absolutely amazing you gotta tell me where you got this."

So Jerry says, "Well, you see I was fishing and I found this lamp that has a genie inside. You rub on the lamp and the genie will pop out and grant you only one wish. So you better make it good."

Bill, with dollar bills in his eyes, says, "Could I please see this lamp and have a wish granted?" Jerry immediately sets the lamp down on the bar.

Bill picks up the lamp and rubs the side. Poof! A big cloud of smoke appeared along with the genie.

The genie said, "Your wish is my command."

With out so much as a pause, Bill says, "Genie, I would like a million bucks!"

The genie nodded his head quickly and disappeared into the lamp. Bill and Jerry looked at one another and noticed the ground shaking. At that moment one million ducks came quacking into the bar and filled it from floor to ceiling.

Bill yells out to Jerry, "I didn't wish for a million ducks! I wished for a million bucks!"

"Do you think I wished for a 10 in pianist?!" replied Jerry.
