A man was walking along the beach when he tripped over a lamp. He turned around angrily and kicked the lamp. Seconds later, a genie popped out of the lamp.
The genie said, “Although you kicked me, I still have to give you three wishes. However, because of what you did, I will also give twice what you wish for to the person you hate the most: your boss.”
So the man agreed and made his first wish. “I want lots of money”, he said. Instantly, $22 million appeared in the man’s bank account and $44 million in the account of his boss. For his second wish, the man wished for several sports cars. Instantly, a Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche appeared in front of him. At the same time, two of each car appeared outside the boss’ house.
“This is your last wish,” the genie said, “so choose carefully;” and to this, the man replied, “I’ve always wanted to donate a kidney…”

Every 10 years, the monks in the monastery are allowed to break their vow of silence to speak two words.

He thinks for a second before saying, “Food bad”.
Ten years later, he says, “Bed hard”.

“I’m not surprised,” the head monk says. “You’ve been complaining ever since you got here.”
