A call centre manager and two of his staff are having a smoke outside in their lunch break, when they spot old brass lamp in the gutter. They pick it up and dust it off. Poof - out pops a genie.
"Thank you for releasing me" says the genie, "I can grant 3 wishes. Since there are 3 of you I will grant one wish to each of you"
The first employee thinks for a moment "I'd like to be sailing a yacht across the Pacific" she says, "racing before the wind, and watching dolphins leaping out of the surf around me". "It is done", said the Genie, and poof, the first employee disappears.
The second employee thinks a moment too. He says, "I'd like to be laying in a hammock on a sunny beach in Hawaii, with a cocktail in my hand, and my favourite novel". "It is done", said the Genie, and poof, the second employee disappears.
The manager looks at where the other two had been standing and rubs his chin in thought. Then he tells the Genie, "I'd like those two back at their desks after lunch."
