     A couple about sixty years old was walking along the beach. The wife saw an old, dirty bot­tle on the sand. The husband picked up the bot­tle and cleaned it with his hand. Suddenly a genie appeared. "Thank you for freeing me from the bottle," the genie said. "I want to give you a thank-you gift. You each have one wish. I will give you anything you want."

     The wife said, "I want to take a trip around the world. Please send me and my husband on a cruise."

     Poof! Suddenly the woman was holding two first-class tickets on the best ship in the world.

     The husband looked at his wife and then whispered to the genie, "I want a wife who is thirty years younger than I am."

     Poof! Suddenly the man was ninety years old.
