LIGHTSIDE

A man walking on a side street in Vancouver stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up, rubbed it, and out popped a genie.

The genie said, “OK, You released me but I am old, getting tired of granting 3 wishes…..you can only get one wish!”

The man said, “I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I am to scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?” The genie laughed and said, “That’s impossible!! Think of the logistics of that! The supports, concrete, steel!! No, think of another wish..”

So the man said, “I have been married and divorced four times.

My wives always said that I don’t care and that I am insensitive. I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel inside, and what they’re thinking when they give me the silent treatment. Know why they’re crying, know what they really want when they say “nothing”, know how to make them truly happy.”

The genie said, “Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?”
