Three old grads from the Triangle's 3 major universities (yea, I'm stretching here a bit) were walking along the beach at Emerald Isle this summer when they saw a glimmer from the sand. They all reached over and pulled a metal object up, brushed it off and realized they had found an ancient lantern. A puff of smoke came out of the lantern and a genie appeared. As expected, the genie then asked the 3 fellows what they wanted for their 3 wishes. Of course, being unable to agree, the State, unc and
DUKE grads continued to argue. The genie quickly intervened and said he was giving each one a single wish and asked who was first. The Wolfie squealed, "ooh, me first" and the genie agreed and asked what the wish was.
Our Wolfpack buddy gushed, "Jim Valvano was the best basketball coach ever and I wish him back on the sidelines at the RBC Center." The genie replied, "your wish is my command" and Jimmy V returned to coach the 'pack again.
"OK, who's next?" snarled the genie who was obviously already tired of the nonsense from these 3 knuckleheads.
The 'hole declared in his most haughty fashion, "I should be next." The genie acknowledged him and snapped, "what do you want?" Our pasty-blue clad beachcomber launched into one his programmed discourses about how he was tired of all the damn Yankees who came to chappaheeya, went to school or work there and never left. The genie, obviously disgusted with this load of
said impatiently, "what's your wish, ram-breath?"
His reply was, "please build a wall around chappaheeya that is 40 feet high, 10 feet thick that has no entrance or exit."
The genie's quick and simply reply was, "done."
He turned to the Duke alum and said, "you got the 3rd wish. Whaddaya want?"
Not to be hurried, the
DUKE fellow asked if he could get a couple things clarified. The genie was obviously tired of the process but agreed to answer a question or two.
"That wall you just built around chappaheeya is really 40 feet high?"
"Yea, yea, go on."
"And 10 feet thick?"
"Yea, yea, go on."
"And no one can get in or out?"
"YES, now what the hell do you want for the 3rd and final wish," the genie exploded.
"Fill it with cement."
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.
