I heard this one at the real estate office on saturday....if you have heard it, please don't interrupt me as I tell it....A man was walking through the desert one evening, when he stumbles upon, what else, a bottle in the sand. Of course the bottle was dirty, so the man began rubbing it clean.
Suddenly, out pops a genie. The genie tells the man that for freeing him from the bottle, he will grant the man one wish. "One wish and only one, so use it wisely, my friend." So the man sat down right there on the sand and thought long and hard. The night passed by rather quickly as the man remained motionless, deep in thought. Finally, early the next morning, after the sun had come up, the man jumps up and says that he has finally figured out what he wants to wish for. The genie, now quite exasperated, was more than willing to grant the man whatever he wanted. The man tells the genie, "I would like to have a massive bridge built across the ocean to Hawaii. That way I could visit there any time that I pleased." After hearing the man out, and thinking long and hard on the subject the genie finally just shook his head. "I can not grant you this wish that you have asked for." "The impact on the local economies would just be too great in maintainance fees alone. Not to mention the many different safety reasons. Think of all the materials that it would take to perform such a task. Something of this magnitude could sink the world's economy. Sure, I could just snap my fingers, and make it happen, but I can not allow myself in good conscience to perform this task." Now the man was very disappointed, but understood and respected the genie's opinion. After all, he did not want to annoy the genie to the point of losing his one wish either. So after another long day, and another long night, the man finally jumps up and yells, "Eureka!! Why didn't I think of this before!! This is the best thing that any man could wish for!" So, now the genie is quite pleased that the man has finally made up his mind, and listens fully attentively as the man explains. "Genie, I wish that you would grant me a great understanding of the female psyche. I never know what women are thinking. This would save me much embarrassment and time." The genie, now standing before the man with a look of awe on his face, thinks for only a brief moment and says, "Sir, why don't we go back to the bridge idea.." POST AWAY LADIES!!! YOU'VE BEEN SET UP!

Oh, I thought this was a true story. Sorry. In that case, I don't have anything to say.
Huh? What do you a knife sharpener for? Here, I'll do it for you - I'll have it razor sharp in no time. What did you say you needed it for?
Whew! Fortunately I came to just before finishing sharpening that knife. I can be a little slow sometimes, but at least I caught that one! Whew!
Yeah, after that I sure could use a drink! Huh? What do I want this white powdery substance for? Put it in my drink? Why? You sure? It seems sweet enough...what is that stuff? Oh, Splenda? Well, if you think it needs it....
Shoot. I spilled the drink when I tripped over the axe that was laying on the floor. How did that get in here anyway? Hmmmmmm. That's weird too - I didn't think scorpions were native to New England, especially this time of year. I almost get the feeling that someone is trying to get rid of me.......is that lipstick on this axe head?
