Genie-us??

A stage Manager, a Sound Technician and a Lighting Designer find a bottle in a corner of the theatre. One of them rubs it and a genie pops out.

"Since you all found me," he says "you each get one wish." The Sound Technician steps up and says, "I'd like a million dollars and three beautiful women." POOF! - The Sound Tech is gone.

The Lighting Designer steps up and says, "Well, if he can have that, I'd like TEN million dollars, and my own personal island with fifteen beautiful women!" POOF! The Lighting Designer is gone.

The Stage Manager steps up and says, "I'd like them both back in ten minutes."
