(Canonical 3 wishes opening)

Man finds a magic lamp, rubs it, and a genie appears.  Genie grants him
three wishes.  The man thinks a little bit and wishes for wealth beyond
his wildest dreams, to not have to work at all for the rest of his life,
and the ability to control a country with just his thoughts.

The genie assures him that this is an easy task, and waves his hands.

Poof!!  The smoke clears, and the man has become a postal worker.
