A man comes up to the border of a neighboring country on his motorcycle. The customs officer at the border crossing stops him and searches the man. He finds nothing so he lets him cross. The next day the same thing happens. This goes on every day for several months.
Then one day, the man doesnʼt show up. The border official meets up with him in a restaurant in the city. The officer says, “I know youʼre smuggling something and itʼs driving me crazy. Itʼs all I think about. I canʼt even sleep. Just between you and me, what are you
smuggling?” What is the man smuggling?

One day, I felt fed up with my younger sister’s bleat. So, I killed her and threw her body into a well. The next day, the body disappeared.
A few years later, I quarreled with a friend over a trifle and decided to kill him too and to throw his body into the well. The next day, the body disappeared.
Later, I was drunk and accidentally impregnated a girl. I killed her and threw her into the same well. The next day, her body disappeared, as all the others did.
10 years later, my boss drove me nuts. I killed him and disposed of the body in the same well. A day later, his body disappeared.
Shortly thereafter, I needed to send my mom to a nursing home, but I didn’t have enough money for that, so I killed her and threw her into the well. The next day, the body was still there. Why?
A little girl was crying bitterly in a barn. Through her tears, she noticed an old lamp lying in the garbage. She took it and dusted it off.
Suddenly a genie appeared and said:
"I’ll fulfill one of your wishes. But only one, so think it over."
"Please make my parents disappear!" the girl said through tears, "I hate them!"
"Consider it done," replied the genie. "Go to bed, and in the morning your wish will be fulfilled."
The next morning, the girl woke up and went down to the kitchen. She found her mom and dad sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast. The girl immediately regretted her wish. She rushed into the barn and began to rub the lamp.
The genie appeared and said, "Well, are you happy now?"
"Please cancel my yesterday’s wish," the girl pleaded.
"I'm sorry," the genie replied. "But once a wish is made, I can’t cancel it."
And the girl burst into bitter tears. Why?
The parents lost their little daughter when she was playing on the playground. The police didn’t find her. The case was deemed as unsolved, and the investigation was closed.
But the parents refused to give up. And they decided to contact a medium. This medium often helped the police and could often point out the exact location of a criminal or a missing person.
When the medium arrived a few days later, she asked the parents to take her to the place where they had last seen their daughter. The mother and father took the medium to the park and watched her sit down on the grass, close her eyes, and do into a trance. Then she exclaimed, “Your daughter is alive! Her heart is beating and her lungs are breathing.”
The happy parents held hands tightly. The mother asked, “But where is she now?”
“She sees a luxurious house with expensive furniture,” the medium continued, “And only the most delicious food is in her stomach”.
The mother breathed a sigh of relief again and pleaded, "But where is our daughter? Please tell us!"
The medium hesitated for a while. Then her eyes opened wide, and she screamed, "She’s all over the world!"
For a while, the parents of the missing girl stood motionless with their mouths wide open. Then they suddenly understood what the medium meant and fell on the floor, crying bitterly.
What happened to the girl?
