Lawyers and Engineers

April 18, 2012

An engineer found a magic lamp. When he rubbed it, a genie appeared. "I'll grant you two wishes," said the genie. "However, this magic lantern was designed by lawyers, so whatever you wish for, every lawyer in the world will have doubled."

"I'm OK with that," replied the engineer. "I wish for $50 million dollars." Just like that, the money appeared in front of him.

"But remember," the genie reminded him, "every lawyer in the world has $100 million now. What's your next wish?"

"I always wished I could donate a kidney," smiled the engineer.
