Bubba & Skeeter were fishing one day when Bubba pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches, he asked Skeeter for a light.
“Shure, I got a lighter,” he replied. Then reaching into his tackle box, he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.
“Jiminy Cricket!” exclaimed Bubba, taking the huge Bic lighter in his hands. “Where did you git dat monster??”
“Well,” replied Skeeter, “I got it from my Genie.”
“You gots a genie in dat tackle box?” Bubba asked.
“Yep, I shure got one. It’s right here in my tackle box,” says Skeeter.
“Could I see him?”
So Skeeter opens his tackle box and sure enough, out pops the genie.
Addressing the genie, Bubba says, “Hey dere! I’m a good friend of your Master, will you grant me one wish?”
“Yes, I will,” says the genie.
So Bubba asks the genie for a million bucks. The genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Bubba sitting there, waiting for his million bucks. Shortly, the sky darkens and is soon filled with the sound of a million ducks … flying overhead.
Over the roar of the million ducks Bubba yells at Skeeter.
“Jumpin’ Jiminy Crickets! I axed for a million bucks, not a million ducks!”
Skeeter answers, “Yup, I forgot to tell you dat genie is hard of hearing. Do you really think I axed for a 10-inch Bic?”
