<\/span>One day a man was stolling down a sunny beach and he spied a funny looking bottle lying in the sand.<\/div>\n
Curious, he picked up the bottle and rubbed it with his sleeve to clean it off…and POOF! out came a genie!
\n“I am the genie of the bottle, your wish is my command. You get one wish, what would you like…?”<\/div>\n
\n

“Only one wish?” said the man, “I thought genies always gave three wishes?”<\/p>\n

“Shut up, you get one wish, now what do you want!”<\/p>\n

The man thought for a few moments…”I know”, he said,<\/p>\n

“I have a business conference coming up in America next month and I am scared to death of flying,<\/p>\n

and I don’t have time to take a ship… so, I want a bridge from the England to the USA.”<\/p>\n

“What?!” are you nuts?!” said the genie, “Do you know how far that is… and how many pylons… that ocean is almost four miles deep in some places…!”<\/div>\n
“Oh great!” said the man, “I finally find a genie and he can’t even grant my wish!”<\/div>\n
“Hold it, hold it, just hold on! I didn’t say I couldn’t or wouldn’t do it, it’s just so incredibly difficult.<\/div>\n
Just out of curiosity, of course…<\/div>\n
you wouldn’t happen to have a different request you might like instead… you know… money… fame…?<\/div>\n
The man thought for a few more moments…”Oh! I know” the man said.<\/div>\n
“Yes?” replied the genie,<\/div>\n
“I want to be able to understand women… how they think and why they feel they way they do.<\/div>\n
The genie responds, “Will that be two lanes or four lanes you want on that bridge!?”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
