a variation on a theme....

Olaf & Sven were fishing one day when Sven pulled out a cigar. Finding
he had no matches, he asked Olaf for a light.

"Ya, shure, I tink I haff a lighter," he replied.
Then reaching into his tackle box,
he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.

"Yiminy Cricket!" exclaimed Sven, taking the huge Bic lighter in his
hands. "Vhere dit yew git dat monster??"

"Vell," replied Olaf, "I got it from me Genie."

"You haff a genie in yor tackle box?" Sven asked.

"Ya, shure. It's right here in my tackle box,"
says Olaf.

"Could I see him?"

So Olaf opens his tackle box & sure enough, out pops the genie.

Addressing the genie, Sven says, "Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your
master. Vill you grant me vun vish?"

"Yes, I will," says the genie.

So Sven asks the genie for a million bucks. The genie disappears back
into the tackle box leaving Sven sitting there,
waiting for his million bucks.

Shortly, the sky darkens & is filled with the sound of a million
ducks...flying overhead.

Over the roar of the million ducks Sven yells at Olaf. "Yumpin' Yimminy
I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!"

Olaf answers, "Ya, I forgot to tell yew dat da genie is hart of
hearing.
Do yew really tink I asked for a 10-inch Bic?"
