Bin Laden gets his wish
One day an unlikely trio was walking in the desert. They were a simple Canadian, Usama Bin Ladin, and Uncle Sam. One of them accidentally kicked a lamp out of the sand. When they picked it up a genie appeared and said he would grant them 1 wish each making up the required 3 wishes.
The Canadian spoke up first. "Genie, my family has always been simple farmers. My father was a farmer, I am a farmer, and my son will one day be a farmer. Please, grant my wish for our soil to be fertile forever." And "POOF", all the land in Canada was turned lush and fertile.
Usama Bin Ladin spoke up next, not wanting to lose anything to Uncle Sam. "Genie, we are constantly subjected to the influences of the western world which is full of sinners and infidels. In order to protect all righteous Islam believers, I would wish for a great wall to enclose the country of Afghanistan. Forever protecting us from the infidels." And suddenly he disappeared and a great wall arose around the country of Afghanistan.
Uncle Sam's curiosity was aroused, being a former civil engineer, and he asked the genie about the wall. "Genie, what kind of a wall is that? Will it last?"
The genie answered "It is a tremendous wall. It rises 15,000 ft in height. It is nearly 500 ft thick and impenetrable. Nothing will get though that wall from either side."
Uncle Sam thought for just a second then said, "Fill it with water." :p
