Here’s a short story about a Genie with a slight hearing problem…..Enjoy
Ole and Sven were fishing one day on a Minnesota lake, when Sven pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches, he asked Ole for a light.
"Ya, shure, I tink I haff a lighter,"- he replied. Then reaching into his tackle box he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.
"Yiminy Cricket!"- exclaimed Sven, taking the huge Bic lighter in his hands. "Vhere did yew git dat monster?"
"Vell,"- replied Ole, -"I got it from me genie."
"You haff a genie?"- Sven asked.
"Ya, shure. It's right here in my tackle box."- says Ole.
"Could I see him?"- asked Sven.
So Ole opens his tackle box and sure enough, out pops the genie.
Addressing the genie, Sven says, -"Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your master.
Vill you grant me vun vish?"
"Yes, I will."- says the genie.
So Sven asks the genie for a million bucks. The genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Sven sitting there, waiting for his million bucks.
Shortly, the sky darkens and is filled with the sound of a million ducks flying overhead.
Over the roar of the million ducks Sven yells at Ole. -
"Yumpin' Yimmny I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!"
Ole answers, -"Ya, I forgot to tell yew that da genie is hard of hearing.
Do yew really tink I asked for a 10 inch Bic?"
