A stockbroker was cold
calling about a
penny stock and found a taker. "I think this one will
really move
said the broker, it's only $1 a share."
"Buy me 1000 shares."
said the client.
The next day the stock was at $2. The client
called the broker and
said, "You were right, give me 5000 more shares."
The next day the client looked in the paper and the stock was
at $4.
The client ran to the phone and called the broker, "Get
me 10,000 more
shares said the client."
"Great!" said the
broker.
The next day the client looked in the paper and the stock
was at $9.
Seeing what a great profit he had in just a few
days, the client ran to
the phone and told the broker, "Sell all my
shares!"
The broker said, "To whom? You were the only one buying
that
stock."

A man has spent many days
crossing the
desert without water. His camel has died of thirst. He's
crawling
through the sands, certain that he has breathed his last, when all
of
a sudden he sees a shiny object sticking out of the sand several
yards ahead of him.
He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the
sand, and discovers what
looks to be an ash tray from an old car.
He opens it and out pops a genie....
But this is no
ordinary genie. He is wearing a polka dot bow tie and a
plaid sport
coat. There's a dog-eared little book in the breast pocket
with a
blue cover. He has a pencil tucked behind one ear.
"Well, kid,"
says the genie. "You know how it works. You have three
wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." says the man. "I'm not going to trust
a used car salesman!"
"What do you have to lose? You've
got no transportation, and it looks
like you're a goner anyway!
"
The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the
genie is
right.
"OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with
plentiful food and drink."
***POOF***
The man finds
himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen. And
he is
surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, kid,
what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I were rich
beyond my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
The Arab finds himself
surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare
gold coins and
precious gems.
"OK, kid, you have just one more wish.
Better
make it a good one!" After thinking for a few minutes, the Arab
says:
"I wish that no matter where I go a beautiful woman will
want and need
me."
***POOF*** He's turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story?
If a used car salesman offers you
anything at no cost, there's going
to be a string attached s
omewhere!
