If you had a genie come up to you one day and gave you a wish, and he says to you "I will grant you this wish. You can either become a Famouse Movie star that makes Millions per Movie or you can become a Sports Superstar that makes Millions per year"

Which of those two would you choose? why?

Movie Star. If you're good, you can continue your career indefinitely, there are always roles for older people. Sports stars have a pretty finite time.

And if you're making millions per movie rather than millions per year, and you can average more than one movie a year... Movie star, no contest. But according to the stories that's not how genies operate. They grant a wish rather than offering you a choice among options, and neither of those are what I'd wish for, that's kind of a lesser of two evils in terms of what interests me.

That's what stunt persons are for ... remember, I'm choosing to be a star - and I've decided that since I'm fantasizing about being a star, I'm going to be the biggest damned star there is. I'll be such a big, awesome star that my bad knees and ankles will be no problem. I'll have hordes of stunt persons at my beck and call, just drooling at the idea that they will be able to do all my stunts that involve knees and ankles ...but of course, MY knees and ankles will be used for the close ups, right, cause we're keeping it real man .... oh yeah ... I smell Cannes .....

lol... EB, your naughtiness went unnoticed.

As for me... I'm going to assume that if the genie were willing to make me a sports star, that would also come with the body required to be a sports star. As such, that would pretty much satisfy every dream I could ever have of a life of health without constant pain. I'd take it in a heart beat! Actors can still be arthritic and crippled up. I wouldn't risk being rich and bothered by paparazzi AND my condition, no way bub. I'd make a clean break from this broken down bod.

:canada:NO QUOTATION MARKS ER NOTHIN...........I HATES EM.WASTEOTIME. Wishes.

So, the guy walks into the bar and notices a patron, sitting there, down at the mouth, walks up to him and asks him what's wrong.

Well, just look, says the guy, and opens this box, and in the box is a tiny grand piano and a little man sitting at it, playing Chopin, etc.

:eek:ccasion9:Wooooo, says #1, What the hell's wrong with that??!!:joker:

Oh it's bad, says #2. Wanna hear??

:roll:Sure, says #1

....................OK, here goes. I"m walkin along the beach, eh, and I find this here old lamp, gives it a rub to shine'er up and out pops a genie.
...........Thanks, he says, been thousand years I been cooped up in there, nice to see daylight again. And.........................just to show ya what a great Genie I is, I"m going to grant you ONE wish.......................so, shoot.

Well, says #1, after some deliberate thought. I've always wanted a 12 inch penis.

:3some:
