A lady was rummaging through her garbage, trying to put together the dregs of her last few days’ bottles. To her surprise, a genie popped out of one of the empties, and offered the astonished woman three wishes. After mulling it over a bit, she decided on her first wish: that the bottle she was holding be kept perpetually full of her favourite wine, no matter how much of it she drank. Instantly, her wish was granted; the bottle came full. She took a few healthy swigs and presto! it filled right to the brim again.

After testing this glorious phenomenon a few times, the impatient genie asked what the alcoholic wanted for her second and third wishes. The woman replied without hesitation, “That’s easy–two more of these!”

(Brings home the truth that “one drink is too many and a thousand is not enough,” doesn’t it?)

That pretty much sums it up.

It only took me one drink to get drunk.

I just could never figure out if it was the 8th one or the 9th!
