THE BRIDGE

A man on his Harley was riding along a California beach when
suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, God
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.' God replied, '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! 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, 'God, 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.
God replied: 'You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
