A guy walks into a bar that he frequents and sits on a stool. Next to him, he sees another guy, a new guy, wearing a suit but with a giant pumpkin for a head. He leans over and says, “sorry for prying but I’ve got to ask…”
The pumpkin head man says, “oh no worries, I’m used to it. I found a lamp with a genie in it and he gave me 3 wishes.”
The regular guy says, “oh damn. They warn you about that monkey paw stuff.”
Pumpkin man shakes his pumpkin head, “Well for the first wish, I thought, I need money, so I wished for a hundred million dollars. Sure enough, my bank account balance went up. No problem too. It wasn’t stolen or anything.”
“For real?” says the regular as the bartender pours him a whiskey neat.
“For real. So then I realized money isn’t enough, so I wished for my career to ascend to the highest peak. Now I’m the CEO of a fortune 100 company. It’s amazing. Private jets, women, power. But you know, eventually the happiness dies down and you realize there's something you can't get without another wish.”
Regular shakes his head and takes a fat swig of whiskey, “And that's when he got you. I can guess, but what happened with the third wish?”
Pumpkin head guy looks right at him with big, black, empty carved eyes and a crooked mouth, “I wished for my head to be a giant pumpkin.”
