The Genie

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old
lamp.  He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie
said, "OK, OK."  You released me from the lamp, blah blah  blah. This is
the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of  these wishes
so you can forget about three. You only get one wish!" The man sat and
thought about it for awhile and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii
but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick.  Could you build me a bridge
to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?" The genie laughed and said,
"That's impossible. Think of the logistics  of that!  Think of how would
the supports ever reach the bottom of the  Pacific? Think of how much
concrete, how much steel!!  No, think of another wish." The man said OK
and tried to think of a really good wish.  Finally, he  said, "I've been
married and divorced four times. My wives always said  that I don't care
and that I'm insensitive.  So, I wish that I could understand women ...
know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the
silent treatment ... know why they're crying ... know  what they really
want when they say nothing ... know how to make them truly happy." The
genie said, "You want that bridge two lanes or four?"
