GUY DUPED INTO BUYING MAGIC LAMP

In India, two men duped a doctor into buying an “Aladdin’s lamp” for 7 million rupees (US$94,000, or £72,000). Dr. Laeek Khan said one of the men pretending to be an occultist presented the lamp – which looks just like a magic lamp in the movies – and several times made a “jinn”, or supernatural figure, appear from the lamp. But when Khan asked if he could touch the genie or take the lamp home, they refused, saying it might cause him harm. Eventually they sold the lamp to him, promising it would bring health, wealth and good fortune. Doctor – and that title can’t be emphasized enough here – DOCTOR Khan said he later realized the “genie” was actually just one of the men in disguise. Khan went to the police, and they arrested the men last Thursday.
* No way this story can be tru— oh, wait? India? Yeah, it’s true.
* There’s an old Indian saying: “Man who buys magic lamp is not very bright.”
* The con men rubbed HIM the wrong way.
* This guy’s first wish will be, “I wish all my patients come back to me after hearing this story.”
* Still wondering how the guy disguised as a genie squeezed into the lamp …
