Genie on beach

A man was walking along the beach when he found a bottle. He looked around and didn t see anyone so he opened it.

Three weeks later he returned with the same downtrodden expression on his face. "Did my advice not work?" asked the doctor. "It worked alright. For the past several weeks I've enjoyed some of the ...
