Time for humor

With thanks to Big Bubba, who mailed me this great bit of advice

A guy is walking along a Florida beach when he comes across a
lamp partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it
a rub.

A genie appears and tells him he has been granted one wish.

The guy thinks for a moment and says, "I want to live
forever."

"Sorry," said the genie, "I'm not allowed to grant
eternal life."

"OK, then, I want to die after the Democrats balance
the budget and eliminate the debt.

"You crafty little bastard," said the genie.
