Government worker and the Genie.
Feb 1, 2016 07:14:49 #
One day a government worker was digging through his office drawers when suddenly he came upon a magic lamp. (Oh, c'mon, I'm sure there's one buried in your desk too.)
Since he'd heard these jokes before, he knew that he had to rub the lamp and make the genie come out. So he rubbed the lamp and - oh, surprise out popped a genie.
The genie asked, as genies will, "What is your first wish?" The government worker thought about it for a second, then replied, "I would like to be rich!" So the genie granted him his wish, and poof the man was surrounded by piles of money rivaling the heaps of even Martha Stewart and Bill Gates.
Since the government worker knew the whole wish process, the genie didn't even have to ask for number two before he said, "My second wish is to be on an island with beautiful women surrounding me and obeying my every command!" And poof, he was there.
Then the government worker or, as I like to call him, civil servant decided on his third wish, "I don't want to do any work ever again!" and poof.
Ubiquitous ironic twist he was back in his office.

Exactly, no government workers ever do any work. You never get your tax refund, your street plowed, our trash picked up, etc.

Easy to criticize, and take for granted; but not easy to replace.

Lighten up, guys, it's a joke! I worked for the government, in a sense, as I taught at a public university. I think it's funny; anyone on the inside knows there's a great amount of wasted time in government offices.

I worked in the government for several years as well. They are the laziest people on earth with the greatest sense of entitlement ever created. And the ones who hate these types of jokes the most are the ones who usually work the least and are the most rabid unionists.
