The Birthday Wish

"The Birthday Wish"

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday.

"I'd love to be six again,"she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, got up,
made her a nice Big bowl of Lucky Charms and then took
her off to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on
every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear,
the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there
was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park.
Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.

Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where her loving
husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a
refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie to see
the latest blockbuster, a hot-dog,popcorn, a soda pop, and
her favorite candy, M&Ms. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed
into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with
a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well, dear, what was it like
being six again?"

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly
changed. "You idiot, I meant my dress size!"

"Third Wish"

A man was sitting alone in his office one night when a genie
popped up out of his ashtray and said, "And what will your
third wish be?"

The man looked at the genie and said, "Huh? How can I be
getting a third wish when I haven't had a first or second wish
yet?"

"You have had two wishes already," the genie said, "but your
second wish was for me to put everything back the way it was
before you made your first wish. Thus, you remember nothing,
because everything is the way it was before you made any
wishes. You now have one wish left."

"Okay," said the man, "I don't believe this, but what the heck.
I wish I were irresistible to women."

"Funny," said the genie as it granted his wish and disappeared
forever. "That was your first wish, too!"
