So, a surfer walking the beach in California finds an old Arabian looking bottle.? He thinks to himself "Could it be," and he starts to rub it.?

Poof - out comes a genie and he says to the young man "Don't believe the rumors, you are entitled to only one wish.? So what will it be?"?

The young man thinks for a moment and then says "You know, I love to surf Hawaii, but plane fare is so expensive.? I wish you could make a bridge to Hawaii."

The genie looks at him and says "Really??? Do you know how much trouble it would be to build a bridge to Hawaii?? We would need hundreds of work crews, millions, perhaps billions of tons of concrete that extended down miles in some places, boat passage sections every few miles, and just innumerable logistics and materials.?? No, that would be too hard - why don't you pick another wish?"

The young man was unhappy at the response, but thought for a minute and then said "Okay, I get that.? So how about as an alternate wish, you explain to me how a woman thinks."

The genie kind of winced and then responded "So how many lanes did you want on that bridge?"
