The Three Wishes
A man makes his living telling fortunes, with answers supplied by a demon, or a witch, or a spirit. One day the magical being informs him that they must depart, and offer to tell him three magic spells - or the names of three divine/infernal powers - to thank him for his friendship. He can use these three spells, or three names, to grant wishes. The man is overjoyed, and rushes home to tell his wife. What should I wish for? he asks, and she replies that he should wish for ways to better pleasure women - or, that he should wish for more penises. As soon as his wish is stated, however, he finds himself covered with penises, and panics, crying out that he wishes they were gone. Once that wish has been said, the penises vanish - but so too does his original genitalia. Both husband and wife unhappily agree that final wish must therefore be the restoration of his original penis.
