An Aggie, Red Raider, and a Longhorn were walking down a dirt road, talking football, kicking cans and bottles....
From one of those bottles kicked, a genie arose from in a giant green cloud. The three were quite taken aback from the sight.
The genie looked upon the three and asked "who is it among you that has set me free from thousands of years of containment in that bottle". Not knowing, and fearfull of the genie's intentions, not one of the three claimed the freeing kick.
So the genie continued.."I am allowed to grant three wishes to the one that freed me, and since none will step forward, I will grant you each one wish".
The genie said "you, with Tech written on your shirt, go first.." The Red Raider, very excited explained to the genie that the land around his beloved University was a "wasteland of dust, and I would like it to be the most fertile lush land on the earth..." The genie said "it is done" and the land around Lubbock was green and fertile.
The genie then said "you, with the horned animal's head on your shirt, speak to me.." to which the Longhorn said.. "I want a wall built around my fair city of Austin, a great wall, so as to keep the wierdness in, and (now glaring at the Aggie) keeping all of those Aggies out..". The genie said again.."it is done", and there was a mighty wall around the Longhorns city.
The genie now looked upon the Aggie, and told him since he had the last wish to consider his choice wisely.
To which the Aggie responded.."I have a question about the wall you just placed around Austin, just how mighty is it?" The genie explained "it's foundations are deep, it's walls are inpenenitrable, and it is so high it cannot be climed by man or machine.., AND WHAT IS YOUR WISH YOU CLOTHED IN MAROON?"
To which the Aggie responed to the genie...
"Fill it with water."
