It was a oil lamp with a plug in it. He pulled the plug and a genie appeared. Not just any genie - a beautiful woman genie. The most gorgeous thing Dan had ever seen.
The genie said, thank you for freeing me from my lamp. I owe you so much. I will grant you one wish. Wish for the thing you've wanted most in life.
Dan thought for a while and picked up a twig of sage. He knelt on one knee and drew a rather nice map of the Middle East in the sand. He said, "See Iraq, Iran, Syria, Jordan Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Israel here? I would like to see peace throughout this region."
The genie looked at the map, looked puzzled and said, "Dan, you have found the one wish I cannot fulfill, I am so sorry. These people have fundamental differences and have been at war since time began. You will have to make another wish."
Dan felt strongly attracted to the beautiful genie and said, "Okay then, How about you and me ahhh well, you know....."
Then genie looked at Dan and contemplated the situation for a moment and said, " Move over and let me have another look at that map!"
