Three friends were stranded on a desert island. After several weeks with no food and no drinking water, they began to lose heart.

Suddenly, a bottle floated to the shore and a genie popped out. He said, “I have three wishes to grant. Each of you gentlemen can make one wish come true.”

Friend number one got excited. “I wish I was in Las Vegas with dice in one hand and a drink in the other, surrounded by music, food, and beautiful women.” Instantly he was gone, his wish was granted.

Friend number two smiled: “I wish I was back home right now with my wonderful wife and our two small children, at our log cabin in the woods sitting in front of the fire and singing Christmas carols together.” Just like that, he disappeared.

The genie asked the remaining man: “And what do you wish for?”

He answered: “Gee, I wish I had my buddies back to help me decide.”
