A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. When he
opened the bottle a genie appeared. The genie said, "I am so
grateful to get out of that bottle that I will grant you one wish."

The man thought for a while and said, "Gee ... I've always wanted
to go to Hawaii. I've never been able to because I won't fly.
Airplanes are much too frightening for me. On a boat, I see all
that water and I become very claustrophobic. So my wish is for a
road to be built from here to Hawaii."

The genie thought for a while and said, "No, I don't think I can
do that. Just think of all the work involved. Consider all the
pilings 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, what makes them cry,
why they are so temperamental, why they are so difficult to get
along with. Basically, what makes them tick."

The genie considered briefly and said, "So ... do you want two
lanes or four?"
