Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

I don't believe in Jeannies whatsoever... but this is a pretty
clever nyuk, nyuk based on the "3 wishes only" concept .... enjoy!

It seems that a lady was walking on a beach when she spotted a bottle
that had been washed up by the surf. As she uncorked the bottle, out
came a cloud of smoke and a genie. The genie thanked her profusely for
liberating him from the bottle where he had been held captive for
hundreds of years. Of course he also told her that he would grant her
the customary three wishes with one stipulation: whatever she asked for,
her husband would receive double. "That scoundrel", said the woman, "just
left me for a younger woman! Do I really have to share whatever I ask
for with him?" "I'm sorry", replied the genie, "but that is the condition
and I can't change it." "All right, first I'll take one million dollars,"
said the woman. She thought for a while and then asked for a diamond
necklace. Immediately, she had a million dollars and a diamond necklace
with perfect diamonds that sparkled in the sun. She asked the genie,
"Do you mean to tell me that my no-good husband now has two million
dollars and two diamond necklaces?!?"  "Yes", replied the genie, "and
right now he is at the pawnbrokers, trying to turn them into cash."
The woman thought and thought about this and the more she thought about
it, the angrier she got at the idea of her husband getting twice what
she was getting. Finally a sinister smile came over her face and she
told the genie, "For my third wish, I would like you to scare me
*half* to death."
