A man from Nebraska, a man from Michigan and a man from Michigan State are all walking along a beach together when the man from Nebraska spots an old lantern barely visible in the sand. He pulls it out and begins to polish it with his hand when a genie pops out and hovers above them. "You have called me and now I must grant each of you one wish," the genie said. "Tell me what you desire and I will make it come true."

The guy from Nebraska wasted no time. "I'm a farmer," he began, "like my father, my grandfather, and his father before him. My wish is for the land to always be fertile in Nebraska."

The genie crossed his arms, nodded his head and a puff of smoke came from the lantern. "It is done," the genie said."I have made the land forever fertile for farming in Nebraska."

The Michigan man was impressed by what he saw. "Wow!" he said. "That's great! You know what I have always wanted? I would like a huge wall to be built all the way around the city of Ann Arbor so nobody can any longer get in or out of our beautiful city."

The genie folded his arms, nodded, and once again a puff of smoke came from the lantern. "It is done," he announced. "A giant concrete wall, 150 feet high and 50 feet thick has been placed around the City of Ann Arbor."

Hearing this, the man from Michigan State just smiled and said quietly, "Perfect....now fill it with water."
