Genie Wish Gone Wrong
Two buddies went out fishing on their favorite lake one morning. Trouble was, the fish weren’t biting, the coffee was gone, and before long they’d run out of beer, too.
One of them sighed. “I don’t want to head home yet—my wife will still be there, and the tavern doesn’t open for another three hours. What are we gonna do?”
Just then, his friend felt a tug on the line. “Wait—I’ve got a bite!” he hollered. He reeled with all his might, only to pull up… the cork of a champagne bottle.
“Well, at least we’ve got a drink!” he grinned, and they popped the cork open. To their amazement, a genie shot out of the bottle, stretching and yawning.
“Gentlemen,” the genie said, “thank you for setting me free. I’ll grant you one wish—make it count!”
The man who caught the bottle thought fast. “I wish this whole lake was filled with beer!”
No sooner had he spoken than the lake turned golden and foamy, bubbling with suds as far as the eye could see.
His buddy slapped him upside the head. “Brilliant move, genius,” he said sarcastically.
“What do you mean?” the first man asked. “Now we can fish here every day and drink for free!”
His buddy shook his head. “Yeah, sure—but now we have to pee in the boat!”
