An Engineered Solution?

Engineers always seem to know what to do!

Three guys — a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden, and an American engineer are working together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. “I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes total,” says the Genie.

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 is forever made fertile for farming.

Osama bin Ladin is amazed, so he says, “I want a wall around Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious lands.” Pooooof! Again, with the blink of the Genie’s eye, there is a huge wall around those countries.

The American engineer says, “I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.” The Genie explains, “Well, it’s about 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the countries. Nothing can get in or out — it’s virtually impenetrable.”

The American engineer says, “Fill it with water.”

This would work for the Chief!
