The first guy is surprised, but carefully lights his cigaret. “Where did you get That?” he asks his new friend.
“From a genie.” comes the answer.
“The heck you say!” the first guy exclaims.
“See for yourself,” the other guy says as he pulls an old lamp from the same bag that had the lighter. He hands it to the other man who experimental gives it a rub.
Suddenly, POOF, and there stands a genie. “You have one wish Sahib,” the genie declares.
The man is surprised, but quickly recovers. “Well that’s easy,” he says. “I want a million bucks.”
“Granted!" declares the genie, then disappears.
A second later, the window at the front of the bar is shattered as a mallard comes flying through it. The bird hits the wall just above the startled patrons, breaking its neck. A second later another bird comes crashing into the bar. Then 10, then 20, then hundreds, then thousands of birds are dive bombing into the bar.
The two guys jump behind the counter for protection as the onslaught continues. When it finally ends they stand and see the bar almost completely full of dead and dying birds. “What the heck was that?” the first guy says.
“That’s your million ducks,” says his companion.
“Bucks, not ducks!” the first guy says, “Is that stupid genie hard of hearing?”
The other man says, “You don’t seriously think I intentionally wasted my wish on a 12 inch cigaret lighter do you?”
