The genie said "Nope... due to inflation, constant downsizing, low wages in the third world countries and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So... what'll it be?"

The woman didn't hesitate. She said "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other."

The genie looked at the map and exclaimed "Gadzooks, lady! These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm good but not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make another wish."

She thought for a minute and said, "Well, I haven't yet found the *right* man. You know, someone who's considerate and fun, likes to cook, helps with the housecleaning, is good in bed, gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time and is faithful. That's what I wish for... a good mate."

The genie thought for what seemed to be a long minute and finally said "Let me see that map again."
