He looked around and didn't see anyone, so he opened it.
A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie
said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only one."
The man thought for a minute and said, "I have always wanted to go to
Hawaii but have never been able to because I'm afraid of flying and
ships make me claustrophobic and ill. So, I wish for a bridge to be built
from here to Hawaii."
The genie thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I don't think I can
do that. Just think of all the work involved with the pilings needed
to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach
the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be
needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "There is one
