While on vacation at a beautiful island get-a-way, a man discovers a lamp while walking on the beach. As these stories always go, he rubs the lamp and out pops a genie. The genie grants him three wishes but adds one stipulation; "whatever you wish for your wife will get double." This really upsets the man who is in the middle of a nasty divorce. He decides on his three wishes and tells the genie,"First, I want to have 100 million dollars." "Done." says the genie. And, as promised, his wife receives 200 million dollars. "For my second wish, I want a huge mansion." Again it was done and his wife received a house twice as large.
"So," said the man, "let me get this straight. I have a 100 million dollars and my wife has 200 million. I have a huge mansion and my wife has one twice that size." "Correct" says the genie. "What do you want for your third wish?" The man ponders momentarily and replies, "I want you to scare me half to death."
