Three sailors walking along a beach when they find a lamp. One of them rubs it and a genie appears. He tells them that he can grant three wishes, which means they get one wish apiece, starting with the youngest.
"I want to live in Tahiti, with my own yacht and naked island girls following me everywhere!" says the young swab.
"Granted!" says the genie, and the young sailor disappears. "Next?"
The second sailor quickly says "I want a mansion in Hollywood, with a pool, a dozen different fine cars, dozens of beautiful women who all love me! Oh, and ten million dollars in the bank!"
"Granted!" says the genie, and that sailor disappears as well. He turns to the last man and asks "And your wish?"
The grizzled old chief says "I want both of those bums back on board first thing tomorrow morning!"
