A Trini woman was walking along the beach of Maracas Bay when
she stumbled upon an old empty bottle. She picked it up and rubbed
it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared.
She talked with him a while, then the Genie told her he would grant
her ONE wish. She said she heard that she would get three wishes
if she ever found a Genie. The genie said,
"Nope, sorry. Three-wish genies are a story-tale myth. I'm a ONE-WISH
Genie. So... what'll it be?"
The woman didn't hesitate. She said,
"I want peace in the Middle East. See this map, I want these countries
to stop fighting with each other and I want all the Arabs to love Jews
and Americans and vice-versa. It will bring about world peace and harmony."
The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed,
"Lord Lady, Wat wrong wit u? These countries have been at war for
thousands of years. I'm out of shape after being in a bottle for five
hundred years. I'm good, but NOT THAT GOOD!!! I don't think it can
be done. PLEASE make another wish and ah beg yuh... Be reasonable."
The woman thought for a minute and said,
"Well, I've never been able to find the right Trini man...You know,
one that DOESN'T DRINK ALCOHOL, is considerate and fun, likes to
dance and helps with the cooking & household chores, is great in bed,
is FAITHFUL to me and will attend church with me. That's what I wish
for... a good Trinidadian man."
The Genie let out a long sigh, shook his head and said,
"Let me see that blasted map again."
