A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a bottle.
She picked it up and rubbed it, and 'low-and-behold' a genie appeared!  The
amazed woman asked if she got three wishes.

The genie said, "Nope, sorry, three-wish genies are a storybook myth.  I'm a
one-wish genie.  So...  what'll it be?"

The woman did not hesitate.  She said, "I want peace in the Middle East.
See this map?  I want these countries to stop fighting with each other and I
want all the Arabs to love the Jews and Americans and vice-versa.  It will
bring about world
peace and harmony."

The genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be reasonable.  These
countries have been at war for thousands of years.  I'm out of shape after
being in a bottle for five hundred years.  I'm good but not THAT good!  I
don't think it can be done.  Make another wish and please be reasonable."

The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been able to find
the right man.  You know, one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and
help with the house cleaning, is great in bed, and gets along with my
family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful.  That is what I
wish for ...  a good man."

The genie let out a sigh and said, "Let me see that map again."
