A Californian and an Oregonian were walking along the beach when they 
found an old lamp washed ashore.  The Oregonian polishes it and a Genie 
appears.  The giant Genie offers the Oregonian two wishes but being polite 
he gives the first wish to the Californian.  The Californian thinks about 
his state and asks the Genie to build a mile high wall completely around 
the state to keep out all those folks who wish to move there and make it 
over populated.  Whoosh ...  the wall appears in the twinkling of an eye.  
The Californian is pleased.  Now he can keep his state pristine.  The 
Genie says to the Oregonian, "You have one wish remaining.  What do you 
wish?"  The Oregonian ponders for a few moments.  "Fill those walls with 
water!"
