Cowboy

A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the Texas plains
without water. His horse has already died of thirst.
He's crawling through the sand, certain that he has breathed his
last breath, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of
thesand several yards ahead of him.
He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers
what looks to be an old briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary
genie.She is wearing a FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
ID badge and a dull gray dress.
There's a calculator in her pocketbook.She has a pencil
tucked behind one ear.
"Well, cowboy," says the genie. . "You know how I work. . . .You
have three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." said the cowboy. . . "I'm not going to
trust a FEMA genie."
"What do you hav e to lose? You've got no transportation, and it
looks likeyou're a goner anyway!"The cowboy thinks about
this for aminute, and decides that the genie isright.
"OK!, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and drink
."
***POOF***
The cowboy finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever
seen, and he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies
.
"OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams ."
***POOF***
The cowboy finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with
rare gold coins and precious gems.
"OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a
good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the cowboy says . . ."I wish
that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me ."
***POOF***
He was turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story:If the government offers you
anything, there's going to be a string attached.
