I'm peeing my pants again, probably NOT the LAST and FINAL time EDIT
There's this zero walking down a riverbank, past the fishermen, when suddenly he's stopped in his tracks when he sees another zero fishing with a belt and who has, where his head should be, a giant pun'kin.
"My God!" he blurts out. "What on earth happened to you?"
"Well," says the zero with the belt "it all started when I was fishing last week. I thought I'd caught a whopper, pulled and pulled at the line until finally I pulled an old-looking metal bottle out of the river. I looked at it, scritched some of the mud off, and saw that it was made of gold. I rubbed and rubbed at it with my coat, getting more and more of the mud off, until I accidentally dislodged the stopper.
Then, guess what?"
"A genie came out?" ventured the zero.
"Too right a genie came out," said the zero with the belt. "Huge he was, thirty feet tall with shimmering mist round his feet. He says to me, 'I am the great Djinn Al-Uanmi, and you have freed me from my thousand year imprisonment. For this, I will grant you three wishes.
What is your first wish?' Obviously, I was a bit shaken by the whole thing, but I said I'd like Barbara Bush to be sitting next to me in a bikini.
Granted', says the Genie and - poooof - there's Barb sitting next to me, looking a bit bewildered and shivering in the cold.
'What is your second wish?' says the genie - you could tell he was the sort of genie who liked to do things by the book.
'Right', says I, 'For my second wish, I'd like to have a wheelbarrow full of Gold.'
'Granted' - and there was this wheelbarrow full of gleaming ingots on the other side of me, slowly sinking into the mud with all the weight.'"
The zero with the belt paused, thoughtfully, obviously reflecting on his good fortune.
"And what was your last wish for?" asked the zero, smiling.
"Ah yes," said the zero with the belt. "For my last wish, I asked the genie to put a giant pun'kin where my head should be.
