The ball smashes into a poorly placed home's window. Being decent people, they walk over to pay for the damages. Walking past the broken window, they see a broken lamp and a fellow with a turban on his head and gold bands on his arms. Seeing the couple, the man yells out "did you smash this window and more importantly, disturb this lamp?" The husband takes full responsibility. To which the gold bedecked man replies "Well, as luck would have it, I am a genie. But, as you broke the window and knocked over my lamp rather than rubbed it, I will give you two wishes but the third wish is mine."
The couple consider this but 2 wishes is better than 0 wishes. As the wife starts to think about what their family really needs, the husband, in the depths of a mid-life crisis, blurts out "I wish my garage had 5 Bugattis!" The genie claps his hands "It is done." The wife gently smiles to herself and then starts to pipe up when the husband blurts out "I wish my hair would grow back" The genie claps his hands and says "When you wake up this morning, your hair will be luscious and thick." The husband is dancing around and almost in tears.
The wife is now pretty annoyed that their wishes have been used so selfishly but also remembered the genie's wish. "Well, what are you going to wish for?"
The genie looks a little awkward now and says "Sadly, I cannot use my powers on myself and thus cannot be freed unless someone wishes it. But, after a millenia of service I have never known a woman's loving touch, just her imperious demands."
The wife, can't help but notice that the genie has a great body, kind eyes and a long thick flowing hair. "Well, you've done so much for us I mean, the least I could I do. Honey, would you mind if I...?" "What? Yeah, whatever, babe, I'm rich and I'll have hair again! Do whatever, I'm going home to take one of my Bugatti for a spin!"
A couple hours later, the genie and the wife are sharing a post coital cigarette and the wife asks "so, how long have you been a genie?" In turn, he asks "how long have you two idiots believed in genies?"
