Two men were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape
from a burning freight vessel. 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, one did come
forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that she 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!"
Immediately the Genie clapped her
hands with a deafening crash, and the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the
Genie vanished to her freedom.
Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered
their circumstances. The other man looked disgustedly at the one whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled
moment, he spoke: "Nice going! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat."
