 Lost at Sea

Two Irishmen, Patrick & Michael, were adrift in a
lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter.
While rummaging through the boat's provisions,
Patrick stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie
would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously.

To the amazement of Patrick, a genie came forth.
This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish,
not the standard three.

Without giving much thought to the matter, Patrick
blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into Guinness Beer!"

The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash,
and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever
sampled by mortals.

Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle
lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness as the two men
considered their circumstances.

Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick whose wish had
been granted.

After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke:
"Nice going Patrick! Now we're going to have to pee
in the boat.
