The Genie
One day, a guy was strolling along a California beach, whistling to himself and just enjoying the sun shine when he suddenly stubbed his toe on something in the sand. After recovering from hopping around and cursing, he picked it up and noticed it was a brass lamp. Giving it a quick rub to get some sand off, there was a bang as a puff of smoke bellowed from the lamp, forming into a Genie.
The genie offered a bow to him."Oh, many thanks to you. I have been trapped in that lamp for several thousand years. In gratitude for freeing me, I will grant you one wish. What do you desire?"
The man thought a moment, and then perked up as he got a great idea. "Tell you what. I've always wanted to visit Hawaii, but I can't because I'm afraid of heights and afraid of the water, so I can't fly and I can't take a boat. Build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive there."
The genie gave him an incredulous look. "Are you insane!? Do you realize how much concrete that would take? How /deep/ those pilings have to go!? It is too much, I can not do it. Is there anything else?"
The man thinks some more, then perks up again. "I have it. I'm a failure when it comes to women. I always screw up dates, I can never understand what they are saying sometimes. I want to you explain to me everything there is to know about women."
The genie's eyes widen, he paces back and forth, then turns back to the man. "Will that be 2 lanes or 4?"
