A man on vacation was walking along the California coastline when he found an old dirty bottle in the sand.   It had an iteresting shape, so the man wiped it off.  POOF!!  Out pops a genie!

"Ok Mac, you know the rutine, I'll grant you one wish for getting me out of the bottle." said the genie, "Anything you want, anything at all, just ask and it's yours!"

"Well, " replied the man, looking wistfully westward at the setting sun, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I hate to fly, and I can't stand boats.   Make me a highway from here to Hawaii!"

"What!  You know full well that's impossible!  The engineering required, the concrete pilings, the storms, the necessary draw bridges to let ships through!"  The Genie stormed on as if in a rage, "There are some things that are impossible even for a genie!  Try another wish!"

"Hmmm...." mused the man, "My wife and I have been married all these years, yet I still don't understand her.  She cries when she's sad, she cries when she's mad, she cries when she's happy!  What you can do for me is to make me understand women!"

Drawing a notepad out of his pocket along with a pencil, the genie replied," Now, about that highway to Hawaii... how wide would you llike that?  Two lanes or four?"

Time to go make more bullets!
