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, 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 three. You only get one wish!"
The man sat and thought about it for a while and 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 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 said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally,he said,
"I've been married and divorced four 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?"
