A man was walking on the beach and tripped over an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and... a genie jumped out and said: "O.K., you
have freed me from the lamp, blah, blah, blah!
Forget
that story about the three wishes!
You got
one wish and that's it, period!"
The man
sat down, thought for a minute and replied:
"Since I
cannot remember anyone's telephone number,
and I am
always having to look it up or call information for my friends
telephone number,
I have
always wanted to be able to call anyone I wanted on the
telephone
just like
Andy Griffith did on his show.
Remember,
Andy would say after clicking on the telephone on
the wall
and say, "Mabel, call Sara down the street for me!"
And sure
enough, Andy would be talking with Sara
and he did
not have to dial any numbers. I need this because I have
challenges
with high
technology including computers. So, being able to just call my
virtual assistant
and ask
her to call someone is what I really want.
Could you
get me a phone that is virtual and has these features:
AND,
So I Can
Always be located.
Never be
bothered.
Will Not
Miss any calls.
Will allow
me to do email on my phone.
Call
everyone AT ONCE.
You know
call everyone at once
and let
them know about my next event with just one telephone
call.
And, most
importantly for my family, I do not want to crash my
car
while I am
driving down the highway trying to dial on my cell phone,
PLEASE, my
family is very precious to me. I want to live a long
time.
The genie
had a good laugh and retorted:
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Just think
of the hardware, software, the logistics,
the people
needed to develop this,
compliance
with the FCC,
certification, indemnification, validation, provocation,
identification,
the
installation,
the
implemenation,
the
training,
the wiring
needed to compete with the telephone company!!!
How could we put voice mail boxes in all major
cities,
think
about the infrastruction and the cement,
the amount
of steel,
the
labor...and the unions,
No,
absolutely not! NOT A CHANCE!!!
We cannot
create such a virtual telephone!
Unless you
have billions of dollars, think of another wish..."
The man
understood and tried to think of a
wish which
could be really possible.
Finally he
said:
"You know,
I was married four times,
and four
times I got divorced.
My wives
always said I didn't care about them,
that I was
insensitive.
My wish,
therefore, is to understand women;
know how
they feel inside,
what they
think about when they are not talking to us ...
to know
why they cry ...
to really
know what they want when they say nothing ...
to know
how to make them really happy!"
But above
all, eliminate the question that haunts all men:
What are
you thinking about Honey?
The genie
says :
"Alright! Now when did you want that virtual
telephone
so you
can start making telephone calls without dialing?
Did you
also want voicemail too?
Did you
say you needed a virtual assistant and no long distance
fees?
All for a
modist cost of $35 per month for all you can eat...
Let me
have your credit card, because this is going to change
the
way you do
business and talk with your friends.
I hope you
are happy with your WISH!!!
