A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the desert
without water.
His horse has already died of thirst.
He's crawling through the sand, certain that he has breathed
his last, when all of a sudden, he sees an object sticking out
of the sand several yards ahead of him.
He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and
discovers what looks to be an old briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary
genie. She is wearing an Inland Revenue Service ID badge
and a dull gray dress. There's a calculator in her pocketbook.
She has a pencil tucked behind one ear.
"Well, cowboy," says the genie. "You know how I work. You have
three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this," says the man. "I'm not going to
trust an IR auditor genie."
"What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and
it looks like you're a goner anyway."
The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the
genie is right.
"OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and
drink."
***POOF***
The cowboy finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has
ever seen. And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters
of delicacies.
"OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with
rare gold coins and precious gems.
"OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it
a good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the man says.. "I wish that
no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me."
***POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything,
there's going to be a string attached.
