Genie on a Beach

   A man was walking along the beach at Malibu when he found a bottle. He looked around but saw no one so he opened the bottle.
   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 then said,"I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but was never able to go because I am afraid of flying and ships make me claustrophobic and ill. So, I wish for a bridge to be made from here to Hawaii."
   The genie thought for a long time and said,"No. I don't think I'll be able to do that. Just think of all the work needed with pilings needed to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of 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 other thing that I have always wanted. i would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along? Basically, what makes them tick?"
   The genie considered for a few minutes and then said,"So, do you want two lanes or four to Hawaii?"
