Can I use my 2nd wish to get myself a strong portfolio of investments buttressed by diversifications into gold, agricultural products, and Ethiopian real estate, while maintaining zero tax liability?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Shouldn't you transform into a cowboy before saying that?
Would you like me to?
How about if instead you transformed into a floating ethereal head?
Would it be profitable and ethical for me not to use my other two wishes, instead selling your lamp on the open market, and rolling over the profits into a set of high-yield speculative investments?
Are we talking derivatives, commodities, ponzi schemes, or overseas mutual funds now?
Do you have any recommendations? What sectors of the market do you think will rebound fastest?
What did you have in mind? And don't you think I should get a piece of the action for my lamp? What will be my cut of all this?
Have you heard of an investment called Enron? Have you heard how cheap shares are these days? How would you like to have the Vice President's ear on energy issues?
Don't you think it would be better if I gave him one of mine?
You won't believe what happened to me today. I started posting a new series to stripcreator, and after three comics, some guy told me it was getting redundant.
That's awful, Kramer, what did you do?
I started another series of comics, all nearly alike.
A new chance to be creative. I guess everything turned out okay then.
Meanwhile...
Boss, Operation Flaming Shaming Blaming Kraming Reframing has failed. He picked up and started yet another series.
A pox on all your mouses, Kramer, a pox on all of them!!! Just wait, my revenge is coming SOOOOOON!
Yuan to give me three wishes? Don't you rially have a yen to pesome attention to your own needs?
Haven't you considered that as pfennig as it sounds, I'm the genie, and euronly the wisher? Wouldn't it make more cents, be more soutable, for me to grant it to you?
Must I pound it into your head that you shouldn't be shekeled to this lifestyle? Why are you shilling for the wish-gods?
Why won't you mark my words that francly I don't care? Can't I find this a krugerand lifestyle?
Living in these ruble-filled quarters? Why not wish yourself diamonds and sapphires and rupees? Doesn't that sound a zloty more liracal?
Don't you see that if the florin my cave were piled with jewels, I'd have to be much dollar to see over it, and it would be a lot harder to drachmaself across it?
I'm sorry, Alice. Since Mike succumbed to AIDS, I've decided I can't raise the family on my own. I'm entombing the children with him, and letting you go.
I understand, Mrs. Brady. Have a nice life.
Daddy, Jan is eating Tiger brisket in front of me again!
Fish sticks, fish sticks, rotting in the summer heat. Oh were there sweet, cool tartar sauce to dominate the fetid fish. Who is my knight in shining tartar?
My cookies are plain and weak. Alas! Where is the chocolate chip man?
We have combined two great flavors in our new ice cream. The tang of tartar ...
... and the lure of chocolate. Ben & Jerry's Fish -n- Chips Ice Cream shall rule the market!
We are refreshed, we are reinvigorated, we are alive.
One magic ingredient shall rule the earth. Ben, Jerry, we bow to you!
You've done well, my minion. You bring winter over the land of ice cream eaters. Let them eat cake!
Your half-baked ideas shall rule. All shall rue the day Sara Lee became a wholly owned subsidiary of Betty Crocker, and the pastry market was cornered!
Now to implement our cookie grace! Twist the tentacles of the icemen. Tie them in knots forever!
Nobody doesn't like scraggly!
And they all lived happily ever after.
Help! My tentacles are being bended, Jerry. I need a pie.
My tentacles are being gerrymandered, Ben. Get me a slice too!
Now, double-0-7, the button on your belt buckle will render you completely invis... oh, quit playing around.
Before you kill me, would you please explain your operation?
Certainly, Mr. Bond. With heroin money, we are cornering the market in gold, and buying up Tajikistani nuclear plants. Meanwhile, selected assassinations...
Shouldn't we call for help, James?
Not now, Miss Lingus. We are hardly in any danger.
