Smile:
R Craig's uncle Clive got caught in storm while cod fishing several years ago and was stranded on a remote island. After seven years on the island, a bottle washed up on shore. While cleaning the bottle, a genie appear to grant him 3 wishes. After 7 years, he said he would like a cigarette so the genie produced a pack of Export plain from her bag. For his second wish he asked for a bottle of Screech which again was taken from her bag. The genie reminded him he had left a third and final wish and she suggested she may know what a man stranded on an island for 7 years may want and she gave him a wick and asked if he would like to go for a round. Clive looked at the genie and said, 'don't tell me you have a bag of golf clubs in her bad as well'.
