Genie

[Shadowcaster]

A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened the bottle. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, 'I am so grateful to get out of that bottle that I will grant you one wish. But I can only grant one.'
The man thought for a while and finally said, 'I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. I've never been able to go because I cannot fly. Airplanes are much too frightening for me. On a boat, I see all that water and I become very claustrophobic. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii.

The genie thought for a few minutes and finally said, 'No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved. Consider all the pillars needed to hold up a highway and how deep they would have to go to reach the bottom of the ocean. Imagine all the pavement needed. No, that is just too much to ask.'

The man thought for a few minutes and then told the genie, 'Well, there is one other thing I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with. Basically, what makes them tick.'

The genie considered for a few moments and said, 'So, do you want two lanes or four?'

Me, I forgot about understanding women the day I realized I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND MY SELF!!

Here we have Bob, he thought he understood women. But Bob was wrong. Bob couldn't shut his mouth.

Slightly off-topic, but a good Genie story nonetheless:

A Boss decides to take two of the company's most promising young executives to lunch one day. As they start across the street, the Boss trips over a bottle, out of which pops a Genie. Now, this was an old-school Genie who offered three wishes, not just one.

The young female exec jumped right in and said: "I'd like be skiing in Switzerland, surrounded by beautiful scenery and the most handsome male instructors on the mountain!"

The Genie snapped its fingers and, poof, off she went.

Not to be out done, the young male executive eagerly jumped in, saying: "I'd like to be lying on a beach in Tahiti with a tall, cool drink in my hand and surrounded by a dozen of the most beautiful native women on the island!"

Again, the Genie snapped its fingers and, poof, off he went.

The Genie then turned to the Boss and asked: "Now, what may I do for you?"

To which the Boss replied: "Have those two back here in an hour."

There is an important lesson here: Always let the Boss speak first.
