The Genie

Three men - a Canadian farmer, a Texas and Osama bin Laden - are
walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie
pops out of it. "I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes
in total," says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want
the land to be forever fertile in Canada."

POOOOFF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was
forever fertile for farming.

Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around
Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans
or Canadians can come into our precious state."

POOOFF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge
wall around those countries.

The Texan says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this
wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick
and completely surrounds these countries. Nothing can get in or out.
It is virtually impenetrable."

The Texan sits down, cracks a beer and smiles as he says, "Fill it
with water."
