Finding a bottle on the beach, John uncorks it and
releases a genie.
“I will grant you three wishes,” the genie greets
John happily. “Great,” John replies. “First, I want
ten billion pesos.” “Your wish is my command,”
says genie. Poof! There is a flash, and a paper with
a blank account number appears in John’s hand.
“Next, I want a BMW.” Poof! Another blinding
flash, and a shiny red BMW is parked next to him.
“Finally, “ John says, “I want to be irresistible to
women.” Poof! There is another flash, and John
turns into a box of chocolates.
