A man was walking along the beach when he came upon an old bottle. Rubbing the dirt off to see the design, a genie came out. "Thank you for freeing me from the bottle," said the genie, "for that, I will give you a wish."

The man was amazed. For a long while he thought about what he'd always wanted. Finally, he said, "I would like you to build me a road to Hawaii because I've always wanted to go there but I don't like to fly and I don't like boats."

"Gosh," the genie said, "that's an awfully tall order. Isn't there something else you'd rather have?" The man thought for a while longer.

"Well," he said, "I've never understood women. I'd like you to explain women to me."

The genie replied, "Would you like a two- or four-lane highway?"
