A man was walking on the beach and found a lamp.
After a few quick rubs, the genie pops out and says that he will
grant the man one wish.
The man thinks for a moment, then replies "Well, I've always
wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm terrified of flying, and I get
violently seasick if I even think about getting on a boat, so I
want a bridge built that will let me drive my car to the islands.
The genie's eyes widen in amazement. "But, jeez! Do you have any
clue how hard that would be? Why, the water's miles deep out
there! Imagine the size I'd have to make the pilings! Not to
mention all the typhoons that rip through the Pacific. Nope, can't
do it. Sorry, but you'll have to pick something else."
So the man shrugs and says, "Well, OK. How about this? I've been
married four times, and divorced four times. I just can't figure
women out. I want to be able to understand women. What makes 'em
tick, what makes 'em happy, what they fear."
The genie nods and thinks for a moment before he responds: "So,
should that bridge be two lanes or four?"
