Mitt and the Genie

Re: Edit. I received this email and decided to pass it along.


Mitt Romney is walking alone on the beach where he spots an old lamp sticking out of the sand. He picks it up and rubbing the sand off it, a Genie appears and tells Romney.

Thanks for letting me out of the lamp. I’ve been stuck in there for over a hundred years. I will reward you with three wishes.

Romney: I wish I had a billion dollars.

Genie: It is done.

Romney thinking: I already have a lot of money, why did I wish for more?

Romney: Hey Genie, why all the money? What’s going on?

Genie: You wished for a billion dollars so I gave it to you.

Romney: No I didn’t! Why would I wish for money when I have a lot of it? Why do you make things up, Genie?

Genie: Very well, the money is gone. You can have your wish back.

Romney: OK then. I wish I had a lot of mansions.

Genie: It is done.

Romney thinking: I already have a lot of mansions, why did I wish for more?

Romney: Why did you give me mansions? I already have a few mansions.

Genie: You wished for mansions so I gave them to you.

Romney: No I didn’t! Why would I wish for mansions when I have mansions already? Wow, Genie! You sure like to stretch things, don’t you?

Genie: Very well. No more mansions. You have you wish back.

Romney: I wish I had a lot of beautiful wives.

Genie: It is done.

Romney thinking: Why did I wish for beautiful wives? I’m a Mormon and I can have as many beautiful wives without wishing.

Romney: Genie! What’s going on? You gave me beautiful wives when I didn’t ask for any. I can have as many wives as I want because I’m a Mormon.

Genie: Sigh. You know what? You’re a pathological liar! Fuck you and your three wishes! I’m getting back in the lamp.

Romney shouting at the lamp: I guess you can’t handle the truth!
