Joe was walking down the street one day and he wanted a cigarette but didn't
have a lighter.  He stopped a man and asked for a light the man pulled out
this foot long lighter.  Joe asked him where he got such a large lighter, the
man replied that there is a genie in the hotel lobby granting wishes you can
ask him for anything you want and you will get it.

Joe went into the hotel lobby and asked the genie for a wish.  The genie said
anything you want is yours.  Joe asked if he could have one million bucks.
 The genie replied "Your wish is granted, when you go home tonight your wish
will be there".

Joe went home after work and opened the front door to find one million DUCKS
in his house.  He went back to the front of the hotel and asked the man with
the foot long lighter what happened.  Joe told him he asked for one million
bucks and got one million DUCKS.  The man replied "You don't think I asked
for a twelve inch BIC do you???"
