The Genie A lighting designer, a sound designer and a stage manager found a tightly corked bottle hidden in the theatre. When they opened it, a genie popped out. "Since you all found me," said the genie, "you each get one wish." The lighting designer stepped forward. "I'd like a million dollars, a big, beautiful house in the tropics, and a beautiful woman!" POOF! He was gone. The sound designer stepped forward. "Well, if he can have all that, I'd like ten million dollars, my own personal island in the tropics, and all the beautiful women I want!" POOF! He was gone. The stage manager stepped up, thought for a minute, and said, "I'd like them both back in ten minutes."
