Man, that's one cramped space. Oh! Sorry! I sometimes forget that I have an audience immediately after I exit the lamp.

Hello, I'm your djinn. I am authorized to grant you three wishes today. You all ready know what you're going to wish for? Admirable. Would you mind telling me in nonspecific term what exactly it is that you're planning on wishing for?

Hmmmmm.... I see. I'm not sure I can help you with those. Let me explain why.

First off, there is no explaining the mysteries of the opposite sex. Each individual is so unique that generalizing the population is just wrong... unless you'd only like to understand the attraction of golfing for men or shopping for women. Then I might be able to help.

Secondly, I can't influence the popular vote so President Bush remains in office. I mean, after all he did get re-elected by the people and not djinn kind. May I recommend reading the U. S. Constitution for further understanding of the electoral college? No? You really don't want to know what your Constitution says? All right, your loss but the Constitution isn't just for lawyers. And you could in place of that wish ask to have the text of the Constitution burned into your memory. No? Okay.

And finally, I can't do world peace. Yeah, you can wish for it but the only thing that will accomplish is your desire to work with everyone else to achieve world peace. That's more than you're willing to do?

All right then. Call me when you've made up your mind on three new wishes. )POOF!(
