...Reminds me of the guy who went into a bar carrying a suitcase and ordered a drink. When the bartender brought it, the man drank it and ordered another. While the bartender was pouring, the man opened the suitcase and a little man, about a foot tall, climbed out. The man then reached into the suitcase and pulled out a miniature piano and sat it on the bar, whereupon the little guy started playing the most beautiful music!
The bartender was astonished and told the man that his drink was on the house. The man gratefully accepted and drank his drink as the little man continued to play. The bartender offered one more drink on the house is the man would explain how he had come by this miniature virtuoso.
The man sighed and said, "Well, it's a long story: Several years ago I was stranded on a desert island. One day I was walking down the beach and found an old bottle in the sand. Thinking I might be able to put a note into it, I opened it and out popped a Genie who said he would grant me three wishes. Obviously, my first was to be rescued and, as you can see, I was. My second wish was to live a long and healthy life - I am 87 years old and don't look a day over 35..."
The bartender interupted "Okay, but that don't explain the little guy playing the piano."
"I'm getting to that." The man continued. "Just as I made my third wish a huge wave broke over the shore and the Genie didn't hear me correctly... He thought I said that I wanted a twelve inch Pianist!"

CossackCat: For today... 1- I wish my neighbors were quiet 2- I wish I didn't have a headache 3- I wish someone would bring me tea, aspirin, and are plugs
3 wishes? That's superfluous! I'd wish for all the wishes I ever wanted. Then pack my bottle away, in a steamer trunk, and have it stored away in Samarkand, in some building's basement, on the lowest level. Use one of my NEW wishes to have it's storage fees paid in perpetuity. And leave it there for some other poor soul to find, 26 centuries hence! And become king of the world for the next millennia! And, IF I was still happy being king (Which I DOUBT) after all that time, I'd just keep on being king. If not, I'd probably go back to my vagabondish ways. for all!
