An Englishman, a Texan and a Polak are lost in the Nevada desert. After days without water or food they come upon a lamp half buried in the sand. They rub the lamp and out comes a genie¹. Since they all rubbed the lamp the genie grants each one a single wish.

The Texan goes first and wishes to be transported back to his house where his pool was filled with beautiful women. The genie claps his hands and the Texan vanishes in a flash of light.

The Englisman wishes to be transported back to his house where he knows his wife will be eagerly awaiting him. Once again the Genie claps his hands and the Englishman vanishes.

The Polak sits down and thinks about what he should wish for. Suddenly realizing he is all alone in the desert, he promptly² wishes that the Texan and the Englishman were back.
