A Beggar Sold a $1M Lighter to a Millionaire


An Arab gentleman is sitting in a millionaire’s restaurant in Dubai having lunch when a disheveled homeless man walks in and sits down next to him.

The man says, old man? A million dollars? That lighter isn’t even worth one dollar!”

The homeless man calmly clicks the golden lighter. Suddenly, a genie pops out and says, “Sir, what do you wish for?”

The whole restaurant goes quiet as the man tells the genie, “Bring me a cup of tea with sugar.”

The genie claps his hands and poof! With a flash of fire, a glass of tea appears on a tray with sugar and a spoon.

The Arab rubs his eyes, stunned by what he just saw. Without hesitation, he grabs the lighter and writes the man a check for one million dollars.

“Not so fast,” says the homeless man. “How do I know this check is good?”

So they both go to the Arab’s bank and cash the check. After the money is confirmed, they shake hands and go their separate ways.

The Arab rushes home to his palace, excited. Sitting at his grand table, he clicks the golden lighter.

Sure enough, the genie appears again, “Sir, what do you wish for?”

The Arab smiles and says, “First, I want the million dollars I paid for you back. Then I want a new super yacht, my own Lear private jet, the latest Rolls Royce in my garage, and a foolproof iron-dome to protect them from Iranian missiles.”

The genie looks embarrassed and says, “I’m very sorry, sir… I can only serve tea or coffee. Would you like sugar with that?”

A sailor came home from a secret two year mission

A sailor came home from a secret two-year mission at sea only to find his wife with a newborn baby.

Furious, he was determined to track down the father to extract revenge.

“Was it my friend Joe “, he demanded.

“No !” his weeping wife replied.

“Was it my friend Bob then?” he asked.

“NO !!!” she said, even more upset.

“Well, which one of my no-good friends did this then?” he asked.

“Don’t you think I have any friends of my own?” she snapped.

========================

There were these two guys out hiking when they came upon an old, abandoned mine shaft.

Curious about its depth, they threw in a pebble and waited for the sound of it striking the bottom, but they heard nothing.

They went and got a bigger rock, threw it in and waited. Still nothing.

They searched the area for something larger and came upon a railroad tie. With great difficulty, the two men carried it to the opening and threw it in. While waiting for it to hit bottom, a goat suddenly darted between them and leapt into the hole.

The guys were still standing there with astonished looks upon their faces from the actions of the goat when a man walked up to them. He asked them if they had seen a goat anywhere in the area and they said that one had just jumped into the mine shaft in front of them.

The man replied, “Oh, no! That couldn’t be my goat. Mine was tied to a railroad tie.”
