A man was walking along the beach and found a
bottle.  He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened the
bottle.  A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out.
The genie said, "I am so grateful to get out of that bottle that I will
grant you one wish.  I can only grant one."

The man thought for a while and finally said,
"I have always wanted to go to Hawaii.  I've never been able to go
because I cannot fly. Airplanes are much too frightening for me.  On
a boat, I see all that water and I become very claustrophobic.  So I
wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii.

The genie thought for a few minutes and
finally said, "No, I don't think I can do that.  Just think of all the
work involved.  Consider all the piling needed to hold up a highway and
how deep they would have to go to reach the bottom of  the ocean.
Imagine all the pavement needed. No, that is just too much to ask."

The man thought for a few minutes and then
told the genie, "There is one other thing 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 with.  Basically, what makes them tick."

The genie considered for a few minutes and
said, "So, do you want two lanes or four?"
