Manager, a Secretary and a CEO of a business firm in a large city were walking through a park on their way to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one.

"Me first! Me first!" says the Manager . "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving
a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! He's gone.

In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the Secretary . "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach, an endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone.

"You're next," the Genie says to the CEO.

The CEO says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch"!

Three guys are out having a relaxing day fishing. Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for granting each of them a wish.

Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it, and says: "Ok, if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q." The mermaid says, "Done". Suddenly the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analyzing it with extreme insight.

The second guy is so amazed he says to the mermaid, "Triple my I.Q". The mermaid says "Done." The guy starts to spout out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have been stumping all the scientists of various fields.

The last guy is so enthralled with the changes in his friends, that he says to the mermaid, "Quintuple my I.Q." The mermaid looks at him and says, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."

The guy says, "Nope, I want you to increase my I.Q. times five, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free.

"Please," says the mermaid. "You don't know what you're asking. It'll change your entire view on the universe. Won't you ask for something else, such as a million dollars?" But no matter what the mermaid said, the guy insisted on having his I.Q. increased by five times its usual power.

So the mermaid sighed and said, "Done." And poof, he became a woman.
