With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. In This Case, The Responsibility To Hit That With A Quickness.
Whereas: Col. Tony Nelson is an unmarried career officer in the United States Air Force,
Whereas: Col. Nelson is in possession of a genie,
Whereas: The genie is female,
Whereas: The genie is hot,
"Jeannie, I Want You . . . To Tell Me Where You Got That Veil. Girlfriend, Now Don't Be Keeping Secrets From Colonel Nelly!"
Whereas: The genie is willing–eager, even–to fulfill the Colonel’s wildest fantasies, including but not limited to endless wealth and power, or sexual escapades undreamed by the most satyric libertine,
Whereas: Col. Nelson not only fails to capitalize on his own good fortune, but actively discourages the use of the genie’s abilities, thereby eliminating her as a resource for others,
Poor Genie. She Always Falls For The Same Kind Of Guy.
Resolved: Col. Nelson demonstrates a staggering lack of judgement and/or heightened levels of homosexuality unsuitable for the 1960’s US Air Force. Recommend termination, or at the very least expulsion from the USAF. Genie is to be given to a Naval Officer, who have long and proud histories of objectifying women.
Navy Men Sometimes Fail To Put Their Requests Through Proper Channels.
