Beat me half to death!

(Click the banner above to HEAR the joke!)

So there's this guy who just got out of a really bad divorce from his wife.  One day, he found a genie's lamp.  After rubbing it a little, the genie popped out and said, "Hello master.  I will grant you three wishes but, the catch is, whatever you wish for, your ex-wife gets twice as much!"

The guy didn't like that part as he absolutely hated the way she strung him through the ringer, but he didn't see any way around it so he made his first wish without even thinking about it.

"Genie, I wish I had brand new Ferrari."

POOF!!!  A beautiful new Ferrari appeared right in front of him...but the genie reminded him that his ex-wife now had two!

This didn't make the guy happy, but he went on with his second wish a little impulsively.

"Genie, I wish I had 2 billion dollars!"

POOF!!!  His whole car is filled with a countless amount cash, but again the genie informs him that he just gave his ex-wife 4 billion dollars.

By now, the guy is very angry, so he takes extra care in considering his next wish.

Suddenly, a huge grin breaks out on his face and he says, "Genie, I wish you would beat me half to death!"
