Fred was walking down Holly Beach and picked up a rusty container, being curious he rubbed the rusty container and out popped a genie.

Genie : Ok you are granted a wish.

Fred : One , I thought I got three.

Genie : No you get one, so lets hear it.

Fred : Well I have a great family, live in a good area and have a good dog.
can't think of anything.

Genie : Well come up with something or I 'll go back in the bottle.

Fred : OK- Me and the wife always wanted to got to Hawaii , but I'm afraid
to fly and she gets sea sick, So if you could make us a bridge to Hawaii that's my wish.

Genie : Are you crazy , the water is too deep , it's too far, would have to have gas stations and hotels, storms come thru that area. You have to think of something more reasonable.

Fred; OK Sometimes when me and the wife are talking seems like no matter how hard I try I don't understand her. If you could give me ears that would be able to understand her that would be my wish.

Genie : Well-- you want a 2 or 4 lane.
