A man was strolling along a beach in California.
On giving the sand a kick he struck a corked bottle.
He bent down, picked it up and removed the cork.
Immediately, a Genie came out of the bottle and said to him, “Master, I have been a prisoner in this bottle for a thousand years and now you have set me free.
For that, I will grant you one wish. “
The man thought for a moment then said, “I always wanted to go to Hawaii but I am afraid to fly and I get sick on a ship.
Could you build a highway from California to Hawaii?”
“Master, that is a difficult wish to fulfill.
Can you think of something that is more practical?”
The man thought for a moment and said, “Could you tell me why women are the way they are?”
The Genie thought for a moment before replying, “Would that be two lanes or four?”
