Somebody, who shall remain nameless, has just sent me this:

Three guys, a Canadian, Osama bin Ladin, and Uncle Sam are out
walking together one day. They came across a lantern and a genie
pops out of it. "I will give each of you one wish, that's three
wishes total," says the genie.

The Canadian says, I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son
will be a farmer. I want the land to be forever fertile in
Canada. With a blink of the eye, "poof" the land in Canada was
forever made fertile for farming.

Osama bin Ladin was amazed, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, so
that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious
state." Again, with a blink of the eye, "poof" there was a huge
wall around Afghanistan.

"Uncle Sam"  (a former civil engineer) asked, "I'm curious.
Please tell me more about this wall." The genie explains,
"Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and
completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out,
it's virtually impenetrable."

Uncle Sam says, "Fill it with water."
