A man was walking along the beach when he stumbled upon a genie lamp buried in the sand. Excitedly, he rubbed the lamp and out came the genie.
The genie said, "I will grant you three wishes, but there's a catch. Whatever you wish for, your ex-wife will receive double."
The man thought for a moment and then said, "For my first wish, I want a mansion that's twice the size of the Taj Mahal."
The genie snapped his fingers and suddenly, the man found himself living in a massive palace. But sure enough, across the street was an even bigger mansion – his ex-wife's.
Undeterred, the man made his second wish. "I want a million dollars in cash," he declared.
Again, the genie granted his wish, but as soon as the man counted the money, he saw his ex-wife counting double the amount in the pile next to him.
Frustrated but determined to outsmart his ex-wife, the man made his final wish. "Genie, scare me half to death!"
