California-Hawaii Highway
This man was walking along the beach in Southern California and discovered
what appeared to be a Genie's lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and sure
enough, out came this Genie. The Genie was so excited to be out of the lamp
that he gave the man the customary three wishes.
The man thought for a few seconds then said to the Genie, "I have always
wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to. You see I am afraid to
fly and I get seasick in the bathtub. I would like you to construct a
highway to Hawaii so I can drive there."
The Genie scratched his head, did some quick calculations, then sadly said,
"I hate to tell you this but your wish might be too much for me to give. You
see, it would take a tremendous amount of time to lobby the Department of
Transportation, the Department of Federal Highway and Safety Administration.
Then, the construction costs would require further tax hikes. On top of all
this, we would have to construct fuel stations along the route as well. I
have never had to turn down a wish like this and I am somewhat embarrassed to
do so, but can you think of another wish instead of this one?"
The man was disappointed to hear this bad news but took it in stride. He
thought a few more seconds and then said, "I have been married for 15 years
and have really never been able to understand my wife. I wish you could help
me understand my wife."
The Genie interupted the man quickly and asked, "Would you like that highway
two lane or four lane?"
