An Irishman was walking along a beach in County Cork one day and noticed an encrusted bottle washed up on the sand. Wondering what might be inside he broke it off at the neck and out popped an Irish Genie.
"Oh, me man, I hah been in tha bottle for a hundred years, and you be settin' me free!" he exclaimed. "For that, I'll be givin' you two wishes!"
"Two wishes? Anything I want?" the man asked incredulously.
"Anythin' - just name it," the genie replied.
"Well, what I'll be wantin'," said the man, "is a glass of good Irish ale - but a very special glass, so that no matter how much I drink it will always be full of good Irish ale."
Poof! There it was in his hand. The Irishman drank and drank and drank, and twenty minutes later, he hadn't made a dent. The glass was still overflowing with wonderful Irish ale.
But by now the genie was getting impatient.
"Listen me man" he announced. "I'm grateful for you settin' me free, but I was in that bottle for a long time and I've things to do. So you'll be makin' your second wish now."
The Irishman thought for a moment, looked at the glass in his hand, and declared, "You know, I think I'll have another one of these!"
