A guy was
walking along the beach, found a bottle,
and picked it up. A magical genie popped
out and said,
"Thanks for letting me out. For your kindness I will
grant you one
wish." The guy
said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I
can't because I'm afraid to fly and ships make me deathly
sick. My wish is for you to build a highway from here to
Hawaii." The genie replied, "I'm sorry, but I
don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work
involved. Think of the huge pillings we
woud need to
hold up that 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. Impossible.
Think of another wish." The guy thought for a moment and
said, "Well, there is one thing I've always wanted to
know. I'd like to be able to understand women - what makes
them laugh and cry, why are they so
temperamental, why are they so
difficult to get along with
...you know, what makes them tick?" The genie
thought for a second, then asked, "Do you want that highway
with two lanes or
four?"
