Prince Charles and the Genie

Prince Charles is driving around his mother’s Scottish estate when he  accidentally runs over her favorite dog, a Corgi, crushing it to a pulp.

He gets out of his Range Rover and sits down on the grass, totally distraught.

The whole world is already against him and now his mother will go ballistic.

Suddenly he notices a lamp, half-buried in the ground.

He digs it up, polishes it, and immediately a Genie appears.

“You have freed me from a thousand of years of imprisonment”, says the Genie. “As a reward I shall grant you one wish.”

“Well,” says the Prince, “I have all the material things I need, but let me show you this dog.”

They walk over to the splattered remains of the dog.

“Do you think you could bring this dog back to life for me?”, the Prince asks.

The Genie carefully looks at the remains and shakes his head. “This  body is too far gone for even me to bring it back to life. Is there something else you would like?”

The Prince thinks for a moment, then reaches into his pocket and takes out two photos.

“I was once married to this beautiful woman called Diana,” says Prince Charles, showing the Genie the first photo. “But now I love this woman
 called Camilla”, and he shows the Genie the second photo.

“As you can see, Camilla isn’t beautiful at all, so do you think you can make Camilla as beautiful as Diana?”

The Genie studies the two photographs and after a few moments says, “Let’s have another look at that dog”.
