"IRS Genie" joke
A man has spent many days crossing the desert without water. His camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain that he has breathed his last, when he suddenly sees an 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 old briefcase. He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie. He's wearing an IRS ID badge and dull gray suit. There's a calculator in his pocket and 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 an IRS auditor."
"What do you have to lose!? You don't have any transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!" replies the genie.
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***
He finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen and he's surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, kid, what's your second wish?" the genie asks.
"My second wish is to be rich beyond my wildest dreams," says the man.
***POOF***
He 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!" the genie says.
After thinking for a few minutes, the man says, "I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me."
***POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached!
