A man walking along a New Brunswick beach was deep in prayer.
All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish."
Suddenly the sky clouded above his head, and in a booming voice
the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all
ways, I will grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Prince Edward Island so I can
drive over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic.
Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking.
The supports required to reach the bottom of the Atlantic! 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 another wish, a wish you think would honor and
glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord,
I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel
inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment,
why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I
can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"
