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 breath, 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 appears to be an old brief case.
He opens it and out pops a genie.
But this is no ordinary genie.
She is wearing an Internal 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 cowboy.
"I'm not going to trust an IRS auditor genie."
The genie asks, "What do you have to lose?
"You've got no transportation, and it looks like
you're a goner anyway!"
The cowboy 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.
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 cowboy 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 cowboy replies,
"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.
