Genie
Well, it seems that 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, laughed, and 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 for a few minutes 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! That's too much to ask. "
"OK, " the man said, not wanting to be unreasonable.
"I'm a psychiatrist. Make me 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 makes them tick!"
The genie paused, and then sighed, "Did you want two
lanes or four?"
