Wishes A woman was walking on the beach when she spotted a lamp almost buried in the sand. She picked it up, dusted it off, and to her surprise a genie popped out. ""Thank you for releasing me from my thousand-year imprisonment! I will grant you the traditional three wishes as a reward. And since you are married, your husband will get double of whatever you wish for."" ""But I hate my husband,"" the woman protested. ""He cheated on me and spent all our money -- I've already filed for divorce."" The genie shrugged and told her it was genie law. ""OK, whatever,"" she said, ""Give me a hundred million dollars."" *Poof!* There were stacks and stacks of newly minted $100 bills piled in front of her. ""So, does that mean my husband has *two* hundred million now?"" ""Yep,"" the genie said. ""OK... for my second wish, I want a 100,000 square foot mansion."" *Poof!* There was a huge mansion right up on the bluff, and the deed was in her pocket. ""So, does that mean my husband gets *two* mansions?"" ""Yes indeed. Now, what would you like for your final wish?"" She thought about it for a minute, then snapped her fingers and said, ""Genie -- scare me half to death!""
