A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle.
He looked around and didn’t see anyone so he opened it.
A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out.
The genie said, “For your kindness I will grant you one
wish, but only one.”The man thought for a minute and said,
“I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been
able to because I’m afraid of flying and ships make me
claustrophobic and ill. So I wish for a road to be built
from here to Hawaii. The genie thought for a few minutes
and said, “No, I don’t think I can do that. Just think of
all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold
up the highway and how deep they would have to be to
reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement
that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask.”
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie,
“There is one other thing that I have always wanted.
I would like to be able to understand women. What makes
them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are
they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what
makes them tick?”The genie considered for a few minutes
and said, “So, do you want two lanes or four?”
