splashdown Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Three guys -- a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden, and an American engineer -- are working together one day.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." Pooooof! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming. Osama bin Ladin was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state." Pooooof! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries. The American engineer says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more aout this wall." The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out -- it's virtually impenetrable." The American engineer says, "Fill it with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more customer service driven engineer would have realized that with no overhead cover, Osama could be attacked by plane or satellite and mountain peaks could protrude over the wall in some areas. Wanting to completely address the customer's concerns (and to make sure there were no follow up calls), "Add an opaque airtight cap of the same material and construction and put everyone who share his beliefs in there as well."
