A Canadian Cowboy

[Flintenweib]

A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the Saskatchewan prairies

without water.

His horse has already died of thirst.

He's crawling along the dusty ground, certain that he has breathed his last

breath, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of the ground

several yards ahead of him.

He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the ground and discovers what

looks to be an old briefcase.

He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.

She is wearing a Revenue Canada ID badge and a dull grey dress.

There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a pencil tucked behind one

ear. 'Well, cowboy,' says the genie..You know how I work....You have

three wishes.'

'I'm not falling for this.' said the cowboy... 'I'm not going to trust a

Revenue Canada genie.'

'What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation and it looks like

you're a goner anyway!'

The cowboy thinks about this for a minute and decides that the genie is right.

'OK!, I wish I were along-side a lush spring with plenty of food and drink.'

***POOF***

The cowboy finds himself beside the most beautiful spring he has ever seen

And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.

'OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish.'

'My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams.'

** *POOF***

The cowboy finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare

gold coins and precious gems.

'OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!'

After thinking for a few minutes, the cowboy says... 'I wish that no

matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me.'

***POOF***

He was turned into a tampon.

Moral of the story:

If the Canadian government offers to help you, there's going to be a string attached.

Like the Irish saying goes: watch your wishes, they can become true...
