Three High school girls go to the same bathroom every 4th period and each time they gossip and spill tea, and do their makeup, and each time before they leave they write a message on the mirror with their lipstick.
Sometimes they write the name of the boy they like, sometimes draw a hand giving the world the finger. every day at the end of the day, the sad old janitor comes into the bathroom and scrubs the lipstick away.
Eventually, after many days, the principal called the 3 girls down 5th period after a student snitched. the principal takes them to the bathroom and calls over the janitor.
There is already the frowning face drawn in lipstick from 4th period and the girls looked at it and sneered and laughed.
The principal says “apologize to the janitor for making him clean up your mess!” and the girls just rolled their eyes.
So the principal says to the girls, “Now watch what you put the poor janitor through every day!”
…
..
.
and so the janitor shrugs, takes his sponge, goes to the toilet, submerges the sponge in the toilet, comes back to the mirror, and scrubs the lipstick away.
================================
A modern-day old cowboy has spent many days crossing the desert without water.
He’s crawling through the sand, certain that he has breathed his last when he suddenly sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him.
He crawls towards the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what looks like an old briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie.
But this is no ordinary genie. She wears an AUSTRALIAN TAXATION OFFICE badge and a dull grey dress.
There is a calculator in her pocketbook.
She has a pencil tucked behind one ear.
“Well, old cowboy,” said the genie… “You know how I work. You have three wishes.”
“I’m not falling for this”, says the old man.
“I’m not going to trust an ATO auditor genie.”
“What do you have to lose? You have no transportation and it looks like you are a goner anyway!”
The old man thinks about this for a minute and decides the genie is right.
Shazam!
“OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with lots of food and drink.”
Shazam!
The old cowboy is in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen, surrounded by jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
OK, old boy, what’s your second wish?”
“My second wish is for me to be rich beyond my wildest dreams.”
Shazam!
The old man is surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.
“Okay, cowpuncher, you just have one wish. Better make it a good one!”
After a few minutes of thinking, the man says.
“I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me.”
Shazam!
He is turned into a t-a.mpon.
Moral of the story
If the government offers you anything, there’s going to be a string attached.
