A man was walking along the beach, deep in prayer, when he suddenly looked up and said,
“Lord, please grant me one wish.”
A booming voice came from the sky.
“Because you have been faithful, I will grant you one wish.”
The man smiled.
“Build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive there whenever I want.”
There was a long pause.
The Lord finally replied,
“That’s a pretty big request. Think about the engineering, the materials, the thousands of miles of ocean… I could do it, but it’s a lot.”
“Please ask for something else.”
The man thought for a moment.
“Okay. I want to understand women.”
“I want to understand what they feel, what they think, why they say ‘nothing’ when something is obviously wrong, and most importantly, how to make them truly happy.”
Silence.
A very long silence.
Finally, the Lord spoke.
“So… about that bridge to Hawaii…”
The man smiled.
“Yes?”
“Do you want two lanes or four?”
