Three women were shopping at an antique shop when they stumbled upon an unusual lamp. A voice from a genie inside the lamp begged to be set free in return for granting each of them a wish.
The first woman was skeptical. "Okay, if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q.," she said. The genie replied, "Done." Suddenly, the woman began flawlessly reciting Shakespeare and analyzing it with profound insight.
Amazed, the second woman said, "Triple my I.Q." "Done," said the genie. She immediately started to spout solutions to complex mathematical problems that had been stumping scientists in fields like physics and chemistry.
Enthralled by her friends' transformations, the third woman declared, "Quintuple my I.Q." The genie looked at her and said, "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."
"No," the woman insisted. "Increase my I.Q. fivefold, or I won't set you free."
"Please," pleaded the genie. "You don't know what you're asking... it will change your entire view of the universe. Won't you ask for something else... a million dollars, anything?"
But the woman was adamant. So the genie sighed and said, "Done."
And she became a man.
