One day Mogey and Smush were skipping along through the Hottoes Desert when they came across a lamp. As anyone in their places would have, they rubbed the lamp, and sure enough a genie emerged.
He didn't bear the appearance of your traditional genie, however. He was rather scrawny and wore a thin, muley moustache.
"Hullo I suppose," the genie said lacksadaisically as Mogey and Smush boogied down with joy. "I'm here to, you know, grant you each a wish."
"Hooray!" Mogey yelled. "I wish for a million gold doubloons!"
"Can't do that," the genie muttered. "Do I look like I could lift even a HUNDRED gold doubloons?"
"Alright," Mogey replied "How about a stack of bank notes worth a million Deutsche Marks?"
"Where would I find Deutsche Marks in a desert?" the genie asked. "I don't fly or anything, you know."
"I lifetime supply of chocolates?" Mogey suggested.
"Can't do it," the genie replied.
"The love of a beautiful lady?"
"Nope."
"A machine to do my every bidding?"
"Uh-uh."
"Ok then, how about some parachute pants?" Mogey demanded in exasperation.
"That I can do!" the genie replied, happily tearing away his own baggy trousers to reveal a second pair beneath. "Congratulations, you've been genied!"
