A guy walking down the beach finds the magic lamp. He's no dummy, he knows what to do. He rubs the lamp and the Jeannie pops out. The guy blurts out:

"This is great! I get three wishes!"

But the Jeannie is in a bad mood, so he stops him in his tracks and says:

"That's right, I have to give you three wishes. but for each of your wishes that I grant you, I'm gonna give your mother-in-law twice as much."

First wish, the guy says:

"I want $100 million." The Jeannie hands him an account book and then tells him that the next account number up is his mother-in-laws for $200 million.

Second wish, the guy says:

"I want a 10,ooo acre ranch in NW Montana with a 20 room ranch house."

The Jeannie hands him the title to the land and tells him that his mother-in-law now owns the only other ranch in the valley; the surrounding 20,ooo acres with a 40 rooom ranch house.

Third wish, the guy hands the Jeannie a baseball bat and says:

"Here Jeannie. Beat me half to death."
