A retired man is walking on the beach
when he sees a bottle in the sand that appears to have a message in it. He picks it up, rubs it to remove the sand from it and a genie appears, offering to grant him one wish.
The man pulls a crumpled map from his pocket and shows it to the genie. He says, "Peace in the Gaza Strip, that's my wish."
The genie studies the map, but looks concerned. He hands the map back and says, "I'm sorry, sir. These conflicts have been going on for a very long time, and solving them is beyond my powers. Do you have another wish?"
The guy thinks and says, "Well, I've been married for forty years, and in my whole married life I've never won an argument with my wife. That changed would be my wish."
The genie pauses, considering the request, then says, "Let me see that map again."
