A
guy was walking along the beach in Malibu, finds a bottle, and picks it
up. A genie pops out and says, "Thanks for
letting me out. For your kindness, I will grant you one wish."
The guy says, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I can't
because I'm too afraid to fly and ships make me
deathly sick. So my wish is for you to build me a road from here to
Hawaii."
The genie says, "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do that. Just
think of all the work involved; think of the huge pilings we'd need to
hold up the highway, and how deep they would have to be to reach the
bottom of the ocean. And think
of all the cement that would be needed. Plus, since it's such a long span,
there would have to be gas stations and
rest stops along the way. No, that's just too much to ask."
The guy says, "Well, there is one other thing I've always wanted. I'd
like to be able to understand women. What makes
them laugh and cry, why they can be so temperamental at times or so
difficult to get along with at others -- you know, what makes them
tick?"
The genie thinks a second, and says, "Would that road be two lanes or
four?"
