A man was riding his Harley Davidson along a California beach when suddenly
the sky clouded 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, "That request is materialistic, think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach 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 our wives; 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, and how I can make a
woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
