A modern day cowboy has spent many days
crossing the Texas plains without water.
His horse had 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 looks to be
an old briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But
this is no ordinary genie. She is wearing
a FEMA (Federal Emergency Management
Agency) 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,' said the cowboy...
'I'm not going to trust a FEMA genie.'
'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, and
he is surrounded with jugs of wine and
platters of delicacies.
'OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish?'
'My second wish is that I was 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 says...
'I wish that no matter where I go,
beautiful women will want and need me..'
*** POOF***
He was turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story:
If the government offers to
help you, there's going to be
a string attached.
