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 such
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?’
