BRIDGE BUILDING

While walking along a beach,

a man finds a lamp and rubs it off.

A genie appears and offers to

grant the man one wish.

The man replies, "What about three?"

The genie retorts

"Look pal, I'm in a hurry,

I've been cooped up in that

damn lamp for. . ."

"OK, alright"

the guy responds.

"Tell you what,

I'm tired of paying for airplane tickets 

to Hawaii. I'd like you to build a 

bridge from California to Hawaii."

This annoys the genie.

He screams,

"Hey, this isn't the movies.

Your wish has to be practical."

"Do you know the engineering it

Would take to design that,

the materials it would take,

you'd have to compensate for plate

tectonics, the continental shelf. . ."

"Geez" the guy responds,

"Well, I'd really like to understand women."

The genie responds 

"Did you want two lanes or four?"
