A man was riding his Harley along a California beach
when suddenly the
sky cleared above his head and, in a booming voice, the
Lord said,
'Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all
ways, I will grant
you one wish.'
The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to
Hawaii so I can
ride over anytime I want.'
The Lord said, 'Your request is materialistic, think of
the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports
required
reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and
steel it would
take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources.
I can do it,
but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly
things. Take
a little more time and think of something that could
possibly help
mankind.'
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he
said, 'Lord, I
wish that I and all men could understand women; I want
to know how she
feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the
silent
treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says
nothing's
wrong, why she snaps and complains when I try to help,
and how I can
make a woman truly happy.'
The Lord replied, 'You want two lanes or four lanes on
that bridge?'
