Mother-in-law
On day a man was walking on the beach when he came upon a brass lamp. “I wonder if this is a magic lamp,” he said to himself and began to rub the lamp furiously. A cloud of smoke rose out and a Genie was standing before him.
“Three Wishes are yours,” the Genie said “but whatever you wish for your mother-in-law gets double”
The man thought long and hard. The last thing he wanted to do was give his mother-in-law anything.
“Okay,” he said. “For my first wish I would like a huge yacht to live on.”
“Done,” said the Genie. “Your mother-in-law has one twice as big.”
“For my second wish I want a billion dollars,” the man said.
“Done,” replied the Genie “Your mother-in-law has 2 billion.”
The man smiled as he told the shocked Genie, “For my last wish I would like you to beat me half to death.”
