One day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously, and a genie appeared.
"I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said.
The man thought for a moment, then said,
"I want a spectacular job- a job that no man
has ever succeeded at or has ever attempted to do."
"Poof!" said the genie.
"You're a housewife."
