A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked
around and didn't see anyone so he opened the bottle. A genie
appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, "I
am so grateful to get out of that bottle that I will grant you one
wish. I can only grant one."
The man thought for a while and finally said, "I have always wanted to
go to Hawaii. I've never been able to go because I cannot fly.
Airplanes are much too frightening for me. On a boat, I see all that
water and I become very claustrophobic. So I wish for a road to be
built from here to Hawaii.
The genie thought for a few minutes and finally said, "No, I don't
think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved. Consider
all the piling needed to hold up a highway and how deep they would
have to go to reach the bottom of the ocean. Imagine all the
pavement needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a few minutes and then told the genie, "There is
one other thing 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?"
