While walking on a beach a man tripped on a bottle in the sand and low and behold a Genie popped out.

The Genie was so happy to be set free from the bottle that she granted the man three wishes but cautioned him that whatever he wished for his wife would receive the same but doubled.

The man wished for ten million dollars. The Genie told him to remember that his wife would get twenty million and he said that would be OK. Next he wished for a 10,000 sq ft mansion up on the cliff overlooking the beach. Again he was cautioned that his wife would get two such houses. He said that would be alright and the houses appeared on the cliff. She said the center one was his and the other two were his wifes.

The genie said that he had one more wish and after a great deal of thought he told the Genie that he would be back in about five minutes. When he returned he handed the Genie a tire iron. Confused by this the Genie asked him what she was to do with that. With a big smile he told her his final wish was for her to beat him half to death.
