Three Wishes

A man has spent many days crossing the desert without water.
His camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain
that he has breathed his last, 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 brief case. He opens it and out pops a genie.
But this is no ordinary genie. He is wearing a IRS ID badge and
dull gray suit. There's a calculator in his pocket. He has a pencil
tucked behind one ear.
"Well, kid," says the genie. "You know how it works. You have
three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." Says the man. "I'm not going to trust
an IRS auditor."
"What do you have to lose! ? You've got no transportation, and it
looks like you're a goner anyway!"
The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie
is right. "OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plentiful food and
drink."
***POOF***
The man finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen.
And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, kid, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with
rare gold coins and precious gems.
"OK, kid, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the man says "I wish that no
matter where I go beautiful women will want and need me."
***POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything,
there's going to be a string attached
