Bill Gates and the Genie

[GaNGa]

Bill Gates is at the beach when he discovers a bottle in the

surf.

Gates pulls out the cork and a Genie appears. The Genie says, "I have been trapped for 100 years. As a reward you can make a wish."

Gates thinks about it as he carries the bottle back to his beach cottage. Once there, he goes to a bookshelf, pulls out an atlas and turns to a map of the Middle East. "This area has seen conflict and suffering for hundreds of years. What I wish for is peace in the Middle East."

The Genie replies, "I don't know ... I can do a lot, but this? Don't you have another wish?"

Bill Gates thinks and finally says, "Ok. The whole world hates Microsoft because we have conquered the software market and because Windows still crashes. I wish you would make everybody love us."

The Genie says, "Let me see that map again."
