Three Wishes From A Frog . . .

So the woman said, "I wish I could be the most beautiful woman in the world."
The frog explained that this would mean her husband would be ten times as gorgeous as her - an Adonis to whom all women would flock.
"I don't care, I'll be so beautiful he'll only have eyes for me."
"And for your second wish?"
"I want to be the richest woman in the world."
"But your husband will be 10 times as rich!"
"No, What's his is mine."
The magic frog sighed. "And for your third wish?"
"Well," she said. "I'd like a mild heart attack."
