Santa and Banta were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a burning freight vessel. While rummaging through the boat`s provisions, Santa stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, one did come forth! This particular Genie; however, stated that she could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter Santa blurted out, "Turn the entire ocean into beer!" Immediately the Genie clapped her hands with a deafening crash, and the entire sea turned to the finest brew. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished to her freedom. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the sudden stillness as Santa and Banta considered their circumstances. Banta looked disgustedly at Santa and after a long, tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going! Now we`re going to have to pee in the boat!!" |
