Following a dramatic escape from a sinking ocean liner two men had been =
adrift in a lifeboat for more than 10 days.  While rummaging through the =
boat's remaning provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp.  =
Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, one of the men rubbed the =
lamp vigorously. To the amazment of the castaways, a Genie did come =
forth!  This particular Genie, however, stated that she could only =
deliver one  wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought =
to the matter one man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" =
Immediately the Genie clapped her hands with a deafening crash, and the =
entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals.     =
Simultaneously the Genie vanished to her freedom.  Only the gentle =
lapping  of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men =
considered their circumstances. The other man looked disgustedly at the =
one who's wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he =
spoke.

"Nice going! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat!"
