A recently divorced woman is walking along the beach contemplating how badly she came out in the divorce settlement, when she spies a lamp washing up onshore.
She rubs the lamp, and out pops a genie.
The genie notices her anger and lets her vent her troubles to him.
Then the genie informs that he will give her three wishes.
But, he cautions her, because he does not believe in divorce, he will give her ex-husband ten times what she wishes for.
The woman is steaming mad, thinking that this is hardly fair, but she makes her first wish.
The first wish was for a billion dollars.
The genie grants her wish and she finds herself sitting on one billion dollars.
