Yet another damn genie joke A man is walking on the beach in California when he trips over a lamp in the sand. A genie emerges and says, ""You've freed me after being in that lamp for a thousand years! In gratitude, I will give you one wish."" The man thinks for a bit and says, ""You know, I'd like to visit Hawaii, but I'm deathly afraid of boats and airplanes. Can you build me a bridge to Hawaii?"" ""Come on, buddy, I've been in a lamp for a thousand years; I want to get out and see the world. It would take forever to build that -- can't you ask for something easier?"" The man thinks again and says, ""OK, now that you mention it, I've always wanted to understand women."" ""So how many lanes did you want on that bridge?""
