Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Ladin and Uncle Sam are out walking
together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

“I will give each of you each one wish, that’s three wishes total,” says
the Genie.

The Canadian says, “I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will
also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada.” With a
blink of the Genie’s eye, ‘POOF’ the land in Canada was forever made
fertile for farming.

Osama Bin Ladin was amazed, so he said, “I want a wall around
Afghanistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our
precious state.” Again, with a blink of the Genie’s eye, ‘POOF’ there
was a huge wall around Afghanistan.

“Uncle Sam” (A former civil engineer), asks, “I’m very curious. Please
tell me more about this wall.”

The Genie explains, “Well, it’s about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick
and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or
out—virtually impenetrable.”

“Uncle Sam” says, “Fill it with water.”
