The Government Bureaucrat
The government bureaucrat sits in his office and out of boredom decides to see what's in his old filing cabinet. He pokes through the contents and comes across an old brass lamp. . . "This will look nice on my mantelpiece," he decides and takes it home with him. While he's polishing the lamp, a genie suddenly appears and offers to grant him three wishes. "First, I wish for an ice cold drink right now!" He gets his drink and drinks it. Now that he can think more clearly, he states his second wish, "I want to be on an island filled with beautiful women " Instantly he finds himself on an island with gorgeous women eyeing him lovingly. He tells the genie his third and last wish, "I wish I'd never have to work ever again. And, "ShaZamm!!" he's back in his government office.... reading jokes in his email.
