TODAY’S JOKE

Yeah, yeah. I know.

There was a guy who just got out of a really bad divorce with his wife. One day, he found a genie\'s lamp. The genie came out and said, “Hello, master. I will grant you three wished, but, whatever you wish for your wife gets double.” The guy didn\'t like that part, but he made a wish anyway. For his first wish, he said, “Genie, I want a house in Hawaii.” POOF! He got one house； his wife got two. This didn\'t make him happy, but he made his second wish. “Genie, I want 2 billion dollars.” POOF! He got 2 billion dollars and his wife 4 billion. By now, the guy really wasn\'t happy. The genie said, "You have one more wish left. I have to remind you, whatever you wish for your wife gets double.” The guy said, “Yeah, yeah. I know.” Then he stopped, thought for a few minutes and said with a grin on his face, “I got it! Genie, beat me half to death!”
