Re: Joke time A man is walking down the beach and spots a lamp half buried in the sand. On a lark he digs it out and cleans it off. To his amazement a genie comes out and tells him he can have one wish.
"Just one? What happened to three?" he asks.
"Inflation" says the genie, "take it or leave it."
So the man thinks. And he thinks. Finally, he comes up with an answer.
"I have always wanted to visit Hawaii, but I am simply to afraid of flying and get seasick just thinking of getting on a boat. So I wish for a bridge that connects all the Hawaiian Islands with the mainland US."
The genie looks incredulous and says "Do you have *any* idea how complicated something like that is? It makes building the pyramids with a teaspoon look easy. The amount of concrete, steel, asphalt... No way. That one is just too much for a genie, even one as powerful as me. Make a different wish, you know like being rich, famous, or something like all the other people wish for."
So he thinks a few minutes more and his eyes light up. "Okay Mr Genie. I have a new wish that doesn't involve building the next world wonder."
"Great, what is it?"
"I wish that I could understand women. Understand why they do and say the things they do."
The genie looks at him and asks "Do you want that bridge 2 lanes or 4?" |
