“A man walks into a bar and pauses — at the far end, there’s a guy with a big orange head, just sitting there, staring into his drink. He asks the bartender, ‘Hey, what’s up with the guy with the big orange head?’ The bartender replies, ‘It’s a wild story. Buy him a drink, maybe he’ll tell you.’ So the man walks over, introduces himself, and offers to buy a round. The guy with the big orange head says, ‘Yeah, I bet you want to hear the story, huh?’ The man says, ‘Sure, if you don’t mind.’”
“The guy sighs. ‘You know, I’ve gone over it a million times. Basically, I was walking on the beach one day when I stubbed my toe on something. Looked down — it was an antique brass lamp. I picked it up, dusted it off — and suddenly, this enormous genie bursts out.’
He thunders, ‘You have freed me from my ten-thousand-year imprisonment. I grant you three wishes in return.’
The man at the bar leans in, listening.
The guy goes on: ‘So I said, “Okay, first wish — I want to be fantastically wealthy.”‘
‘The genie says, “Done.” And boom — I’ve got rings on every finger, a crown on my head, my wallet’s stuffed with cash, dozens of ATM cards, and a mansion in the hills. I was loaded.’
‘For my second wish, I told him I wanted to marry the most beautiful woman in the world. The genie says, “Granted.” The ocean parts, and out walks this stunning woman in a flowing dress. She takes my hand, we fall in love instantly, and the genie marries us right there on the beach. Unreal.’
He takes a sip of his beer. ‘Then the genie says, “You have one wish left.”‘
The guy with the big orange head pauses. ‘Now…this may be where I went wrong.’
He sighs.
‘I wished for a big orange head.'”
