One sunny afternoon, two fellows were walking down the beach and amidst their
conversation, one tripped over a bottle. At that moment, a cloud of blue
smoke surrounded them and out of the bottle came a genie."I will give each of you one wish, so think about your greatest hopes and
dreams and I will lay whatever you choose at your fingertips," said the
genie.So, the two men thought for a minute and the first one spoke up.
"I want power and wealth and influence. I want to be known throughout the
land as a man of dignity and I want to lead millions."So, the genie said, "And your wish is now granted. Go and lead your people."
And the man left and became king of all the landThe second man thought for awhile longer and then told the genie, "My wife
and I are in the middle of a tough time. I think if I took her to Hawaii, things
might get better for us. But the problem is I'm scared of planes and she is
afraid of boats. So, genie, my wish is that there could be a causeway
stretching from here all the way to the shores of Hawaii."The genie looked at him and chuckled, shaking his head.
"Sir, you do understand the great amounts of material that would have to go
into building that bridge, don't you?", the genie asked, smirking."Yes," said the man.
"And you do know that the engineering for such a massive feat could take
thousands of years at the least, right?""Yes, sir, I understand."
"I cannot grant that wish. I'm so sorry, but whatever else it is that you may
want, I will grant it," said the genie.Puzzled about this, the man then requested, "Well, genie, then I wish to
understand women."The genie looked at the man with shock and horror written on his face and
then asked the man, "How soon do you want that bridge?"
So here's a message to all men and women out there: MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO BECOME KING OVER ALL AMERICA OR EVEN BUILD A CAUSEWAY TO HAWAII THAN THEY ARE LIKELY TO EVER UNDERSTAND WOMEN!
