The Genie And The Wish
A guy walking along the beach finds a bottle
and picks it up.
A genie pops out and says, "Thanks for
letting me out. For your kindness I will grant you one wish."
The guy says, "I've always wanted to
go to Hawaii, but I can't because I'm afraid to fly and ships
make me deathly sick. My wish is for you to build a road from
here to Hawaii."
The genie says, "I'm sorry, but I don't
think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved. Think
of the huge pilings that we'd need to hold up that highway and
how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean.
And think of all the cement that would be needed. Plus, since
it's such a long span, there would have to be gas stations and
rest stops along the way. No, that's just too much to ask. Impossible"
The guy says, "Well, there is one thing
I've always wanted to know. I'd like to be able to understand
women - what makes them laugh and cry, why they're so temperamental,
why they are so difficult to get along with
you know, what
makes them tick."
The genie thinks a second, then asks, "You
want two lanes or four?" |
