Mrs.E. sent this. She seems to think it's hilarious....

She doesn't appreciate a good Italian joke though, of which there are
millions of course.

Two Norwegians were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a
burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, one of the
men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear,
he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a genie
came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only
deliver one wish, not the standard three.

Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, "Make the
entire ocean into beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash,
and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by
mortals.

Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the
hull broke the stillness as the men considered their circumstances. One man
looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been granted. After a long,
tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going idiot! Now we're going to have
to **** in the boat!"
