This guy was walking along a California beach when he kicked a bottle poking up through the sand. Opening it, he was astonished to see a cloud of smoke and a genie smiling at him.
"For your kindness," the genie said, "I will grant you one wish!" The man paused, then replied, "I have always wanted a road from California to Hawaii! I wish for a road to be built from San Francisco to Hawaii."
The genie grimaced, thought about it and said, "Listen, I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Think of all the pilings needed to hold up the highway and how long they'd have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement. Sorry, but that's too much to ask."
Not wanting to be unreasonable, the man says, "OK, give me the knowledge to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with, what do they really want? Basically, teach me what makes them tick."
The genie paused, and then sighed. "Did you want two lanes or four?" |
