For years, three men were stranded on a deserted island.  One day, a magic 
lamp washed onto the beach.  They rubbed the lamp,and a genie appeared that 
granted each man a wish.  I wish I was off this island and back with my 
family, said the 1st man.  He disappeared.  I also wish I was off this island 
and back with my family, said the 2nd man.  He too disappeared.  The 3rd man, 
looking around and feeling lonely, looked up and told the genie, I wish my 
two friends were back to keep me company.
