There was this successful businessman who not only had loads of cash, but he was a genuinely good person. He had a charity which was truly non-profit, he helped impoverished communities, he lived frugally and didn’t overtly display his wealth.
His one ‘vice’ was his Harley. He loved riding his Harley. One day, god decided to reward this man for being such a helping and selfless individual. The heavens open, golden beams of lights…..
“For your service to humanity I have decided to grant you one request” God says to the man.
“Well, I love riding my motorcycle, and I love Hawaii. I would like to be able to ride my motorcycle in Hawaii whenever I want to. I would like a bridge connecting California to Hawaii”
God replies: “I am omnipotent, but to accomplish that, I would need to drain the vast majority of earth’s resources, which would deprive humanity. Pick something else.”
The man though hard and came up with another idea:
“I want to understand my wife. I want to know why she feels what she feels, why she thinks like she thinks, why she says one thing and means another. I want to understand women”
God looks at the businessman with a stern look on his face, and after a long pause he says:
“So, do you want that bridge with two lanes or four?”
