Poof!

One day, a man spotted a lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously and a genie appeared. "I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said. The man thought for a moment, then said, "I want a spectacular job - a job that no man has ever succeeded at or has ever attempted to do." "Done!" said the genie. "You're a housewife." (POOF).
