3 MAGIC WISHES

Mentor sometimes told me the same story over and over again with a slightly different twist and would knock himself out with laughter when I didn't catch on right away.

A really good looking guy was horse back riding, when suddenly he sees a small snake in the middle of the road and pulls in the reins to avoid trampling it to death. The snake looks up at the guy and says, "Because you have saved my life I will grant you three wishes."

Well the guy was thrilled. He didn't really believe it but he figured he would give it a try. The snake informed him of the ground rules.

"Once the wish is expressed I can not reverse it. Be very serious and ask for exactly what it is you want. "

So for wish number one, the good looking guy asked for a several thousand bags of gold coins.

"Just pile them up along side the road, I''ll come by later and pick them up" .

Well, low and behold, his wish was granted.

A flush of excitement went through the good looking guy and he started to tremble. This was for real. he could hardly believe it.

"OK, OK, now see if you can give me my next wish. I want to be surrounded by 100 of the world's most beautiful women. I want them to be crazy about me. See if you can do that one. "

Well low and behold, in about one-second, a rush, a mob of the most beautiful women the good looking guy had ever seen, came running up to him ... all of them making seductive advances.

All the good looking man could say was, "Wow!"

The snake asked, "What next? You have one more wish".

The good looking guy, distracted, staring at all the women, said absentmindedly,
"Give me the sexual equipment of this horse I'm riding.........."

In a split second he came to his senses....but in a split second his third wish was granted.

"No! Stop. Stop. Stop......!"

The snake expressed deep sympathy, but said it was too late.

Seems the horse the good looking guy was riding ... was a mare.
