a man walks into a bar
he orders a beer from the barman
but then he sees something strange
he looks to the other end of the bar
there’s a guy with a big orange head
the bartender brings the man his beer
he asks the barman a question
“what’s going on over there?”
“there’s a guy with a big orange head”
the bartender chuckles a little
“well, it’s a great story actually”
“buy him a beer, maybe he’ll tell you”
the man follows the barman’s advice
he goes to the guy with the big orange head
he says hello and introduces himself
and he offers to buy him a beer
the guy with the big orange head looks up
“let me guess,” he says to the man
“you want to hear about my big orange head?”
the man didn’t know what to say
“Well, yeah, if you don’t mind”
the man with the big orange head agrees
“I will tell you my story”
“how I got a big orange head”
“I’ve run it over in my mind a million times”

“so, it happened something like this”
one day, I was walking along a beach
and then I stubbed my toe on something
sticking out the sand was an antique lamp
I picked the antique lamp out the sand
and I brushed the sand off the lamp
the lamp started shaking in my hand
and a big cloud of blue smoke erupted
soon the blue smoke had cleared
and then a genie was standing there
the genie boomed in a loud voice
“thank you for freeing me from my prison”
“five thousand years I’ve been in that lamp”
“and now you are my master”
“I will grant you three wishes”
“but you can’t wish for more wishes!”

I couldn’t believe my luck!
I did what many people would do
“Genie, I want to make my first wish”
“I wish to be fantastically wealthy”
so the genie snaps his fingers
and I’m instantly covered in jewels
hundreds of necklaces were around my neck
I had three rings on each finger
a chest full of gold was next to me
and I had a crown on my head
the genie boomed in a loud voice
“you have two wishes remaining”
I had to think what I wanted”
my second wish was more difficult
but eventually I knew what I wanted
“Genie, I want to make my second wish”
“I wish to have the most beautiful wife”
so the genie snaps his fingers
the sea parted in front of us
and the most beautiful woman walks out
we instantly fall in love with each other
and the genie marries us then and there

the first man is completely amazed
he couldn’t believe what he was hearing
he wanted to hear the rest of the story
“so, what was your third wish?”
the man with the orange head looks down
he slowly takes a sip of his beer
he puts his beer back on the table
and he has to think for a moment
“you know, I’ve thought about it a lot”
“here I might have made a mistake”
“I wished for a big orange head”
