Man walks into a bar and pauses: at the other end of the bar, there's this guy with a big orange head. Just kind of sitting there, mooning into his drink. So the man asks the bartender, "Say, what's up with the guy with the big orange head?" And the bartender says, "It's an interesting story. Buy him a drink and maybe he'll tell it to you." So the man walks over and introduces himself and offers to buy a round. The guy with the big orange head says, "Yeah, I'll bet you want to know the story, huh?" To which the man replies, "Sure, if you don't mind." The man with the big orange head sighs and says, "You know, I've gone over it in my mind a million times. Basically, it's like this: I was walking along the beach one day, when I stubbed my toe on something. I looked down, and there was an antique brass lamp. I picked it up and dusted it off a little -- when all of a sudden this enormous genie pops out! "The genie thundered, 'You have released me from my ten-thousand year imprisonment, and I am in your debt. I will grant you three wishes as a token of my gratitude.' The man at the bar is agape. The guy with the big orange head continues: "So I said, 'Wow, okay. Well, my first wish is to be fantastically wealthy.' "The genie says, 'Your wish is granted.' And all of a sudden I have rings on my fingers and a crown on my head, and my wallet is full of money and a dozen ATM cards and the deed to a mansion in the hills -- I mean, I was loaded! "So I said, 'Amazing! Okay, for my next wish , I want to be married to the most beautiful woman in the world.' "The genie says, 'Your wish is granted.' And the ocean parts, and out walks this gorgeous woman in this beautiful dress, and she takes my hand and we fall in love and the genie marries us right there. It was incredible. "The genie booms, 'You have one wish remaining.'" The man with the big orange head pauses and sips his beer. He says, "Now, you know, this may be where I went wrong. I wished for a big orange head.

  • the whole point is that throughout the entire time you're reading it, you're anticipating a climactic ending to this joke when in reality there is no joke. that's why it's funny. i guess it's a certain kind of humor but this is by far my favorite anti joke other than: A duck walked into a bar... ...and was quickly escorted out as no animals were allowed in the bar.

  • Thank you. I laughed till I was sweating. Tried to read it to my family on Christmas and they were more amused with my inability to get to the end without breaking down with uncontrolable laughter just thinking about the ending than the joke itself.

  • best joke on the site.....I've read it over 50 times

  • My wife & I think it's hilarious—and contrary to one of the comments, I think that "Now, this may be where I went wrong" is the funniest line in it. Incidentally, saying that the joke isn't funny is a mistake. To some it's funny, to some it's not. Nothing is more subjective than a sense of humor.
