>One Wish

>Two Irishmen were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape
>from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's
>provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping
>that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the
>amazement of the castaways, 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
>the man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into 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 beer on
>the hull broke the stillness as the men considered their circumstances.
>
>One man looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been granted.
>After a long, tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going idiot! Now
>we're going to have to piss in the boat!"
