Captain Anthony Nelson

Your name is Anthony Nelson, a Captain in the U.S. Air ****. You are an American astronaut serving as part of NASA during the early years of space exploration. You have just returned from your first solo space flight mission. Your one-man capsule went far off course and you landed near a deserted island.

You gather kindling so you can start a fire on the beach, hoping to attract the attention of the recovery team. While you're arranging the branches and twigs on the beach, you notice a strange bottle lying on the beach. You ask yourself aloud, "what's that bottle doing here?".

As you ask the question, the bottle begins to roll by itself, even though the terrain of this part of the beach is completely flat and there's no wind at the moment. The bottle stops at your feet. You pick the unusual bottle up and examine it. It looks like a Jim Beam bourbon bottle, but "what's a bottle like that doing on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific", you wonder.

Thinking of the story of Aladdin, you rub the lamp, not seriously expecting anything to happen. Since the bottle looks like a liquor decanter, you wonder if it still contains whiskey or whatever liquor it was made to contain. When you remove the cork, smoke starts pouring out of the bottle a beautiful blond woman materializes out of thin air. Make that smoky air.

"I must have gone further into orbit than I thought!" you say.

"[Ancient Persian, which is unintelligible to you since you don't speak that language.]"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I wish you spoke English."

"Hello, new Master. My name is Jeannie. What is your name, if you don't mind me asking Master?", the blond woman says, now speaking English fluently.

"My name is Anthony Nelson, but you can call me Tony", you say.

"What is your next wish, Master Tony?", Jeannie asks.

"Wish?", you ask, confused.

"Yes, Master. I am a genie and you have rescued me from the bottle that I was imprisoned in for 2,000 years. Djinn law requires that I now grant you 3 wishes. Your first wish was that I speak this language that you call English. What is your second wish?"
