> He crawls to this object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what

> this is no ordinary genie. He is wearing a Senior Manager ID badge and

> The genie says: "You know how it works. You have three wishes."

> "I'm not falling for this, says the man.. I'm not going to trust a

> "What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks

> The man thinks about this for a minute and decides that the genie is

> "OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plentiful food and drink"
>
> ***POOF***
>
> The man finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen. And
> he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
>
> "OK, kid, what's your second wish?"
>
> "My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams"
>
> ***POOF***
>
> The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare
> gold coins and precious gems.
>
> "OK, kid, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one."
>
> After thinking for a few minutes, the man says: "I wish that no matter
> where I go beautiful women will want and need me"
>
> ***POOF***
>
> He is turned into a tampon.
