A man was riding his Harley 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, '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, and how I can make a woman truly happy.' The Lord
replied, 'You want two lanes or four on that bridge?'
