Three Wishes

A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute refugee claimant
outside a Maryland immigration office.
'My good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been sent here by President Obama
and told to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in the
United States with your wife and three children.'
The man told the fairy. 'Well, where I come from we don't have good
teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.'
The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and --
PING ! -- he had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth!
'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two more to go.'
The refugee claimant now got bolder.  'I need a big house with a three
car garage in Annapolis on the water with eight bedrooms for my family
and the rest of my relatives who still live in my country.  I want to
bring them all over here..
PING ! - In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with
a three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ in an
upscale neighborhood overlooking the bay.
'One more wish', said the fairy, waving her wand. 'Yes, one more wish.
I want to be like an American with American clothes instead of these
tore cloths, and a baseball cap instead of this turban.
PING ! - The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans, a Baltimore
Orioles T-shirt and a baseball cap.. He had his bad teeth back and the
mansion had disappeared from the horizon.
'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed.  'Where is my new house?'
THIS IS GOOD ........
The fairy said 'Tough shit, Mac, Now that you are an American, you
have to fend for yourself.'
And she disappeared.
