One hot summer day, three friends decided to take their boat into the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico to go fishing. After a few hours, one of the men finally had something on his line. He tugged and tugged and reeled in, out of the water an old glass bottle. Apparently the hook of his line caught hold of the cork that sealed the bottle and all three men took a minute to realize the randomness and oddity of such a catch.

Suddenly one of the men noticed something inside and they decided to open it.

POP!

Out of the bottle jumped a Genie who joined them in their boat.

"I will grant you 3 wishes." Informed the Genie.

The three men were thrilled! What luck! And because they had been friends since childhood and shared everything, they agreed that they will share the wishes as well. Each receiving one.

Man #1: Having just watched Ocean's Eleven with his wife over the weekend, exclaimed, "I want to be handsome! Like George Clooney."

And so he was.

Man #2: Already had above average looks. He exclaimed, "I want to be filthy rich!"

And so he was. Immediately his pockets filled with Benjamins. There appeared mounds of cash on the boat. There was money everywhere.

Man #3: Had no need for good looks or riches. He wanted to be smart. So he exclaimed, "I want to be ten times smarter than any man on Earth!"

Genie: "TEN TIMES smarter, you say?"

Man #3: "YES! TEN TIMES smarter!"

And so he became a woman!
