A husband and wife had a major argument. She had been wanting to go to Hawaii for years,
but he had a fear of flying and refused to go. The arguments swirrled endlessly without resolution.
"You don't even try to understand my feelings", she shrieked.
Finally, the husband stormed out of the door and went walking along the beach. He found himself
in an unfamiliar, rocky tract as the evening darkened.
He tripped over an oddly shaped bottle and out swirlled a genie, bedazzled with lights.
"OK, mister, I'm a genie, you know the drill. You get one wish, now make it quick."
The husband was ready with his wish, "Build me a road from here to Hawaii so I can get there without having to fly."
"That's a tough one", the genie griped, "There are waves, and tsunamis, and currents and an irregular ocean floor,
cold and dark and deep. I'd rather stay in the bottle. Think of something else."
The husband didn't have to think, "Help me to understand my wife's feelings."
The genie grunted, crossed and uncrossed his arms, tapped his foot, then spat in the sand.
"OK, do you want that road one lane or two."
