 A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a Genie's lamp.
 She picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared.  The
 amazed woman asked if she got three wishes.

 The Genie said, "Nope.  Due to inflation, constant downsizing, low wages in
 third-world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one
 wish.  So, what'll it be?"

 The woman didn't hesitate.  She said, "I want peace in the Middle East.  See
 this map?  I want these countries to stop fighting with each other."

 The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Gadzooks, lady!  These countries
 have been at war for thousands of years.  I'm good but not THAT good!  Don't
 think it can be done.  Make another wish."

 The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been able to find
 the right man.  You know, one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and
 helps with the housecleaning, is good in bed and gets along with my family,
 doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful.  That's what I wish for.
 A good mate."

 The Genie let out a long sigh and said, "Let me see the fuckin' map!"
