A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across
an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie!
The genie said, "OK. You released me from
the lamp, blah, blah blah. This is the fourth time this month
and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes. So you can forget
about getting three wishes. You only get one wish.
The man sat down on the beach and thought
about it for awhile. Then he said, "I've always wanted to go to
Hawaii; but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you
build me a bridge to Hawaii so that I can drive over there to
visit?"
The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!
Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach
the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete..how much
steel...! No. Think of another wish."
The man tried to think of another wish. Finally,
he said, "I've been married and divorced several times. My wives
always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So I wish
that I could understand women..know how they feel inside and what
they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment...know
why they're crying...know what they really want when they say,
'Nothing'...know how to make them truly happy...."
The genie said, "You want that bridge two
lanes or four?"
