A bridge to Hawaii

Sadness, sadness, it appears, seems to be everywhere these days.
Everybody has varying degrees of sadness, from the bombings in
London to who is really the leader of this country, to wondering if 
if global warming is going to put CV under water,  even to what a
mean dictator has  done to this one-time very happy place to retire
knowing that your modest social security check would suffice.
Well, look in the mirror tomorrow morning and if your image smiles
back at you, then you know this day is going to be a good one.  Let's
see if this innocent little funny can show a bunch of your teeth,
real or false.

   A man was walking along a Californian beach and stumbled
   across an old lamp.  He picked it up and rubbed it and out
   popped a genie.

   The genie said "OK, OK.  You released me from the lamp,
   blah blah blah.  This is the fourth time this month and I'm
   getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three
.  You only get one wish!"

   The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, I've always                
   wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very
   seasick.  Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can
   drive over there to visit?"  

   The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible.  Think of
   the logistics of that!  How would the supports ever reach
   bottom of the Pacific?  Think of how much concrete...how
   much steel!!   No - think of another wish."

   The man agreed and tried to think of a really good wish.
   Finally, he said,  "I've been married and divorced four times.
   My wives always said that I don't care that I'm insensitive.
   So, I wish that I could understand women....know how they
   feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the
   silent treatment....know why they're crying, know what they
   really want when they say 'nothing'....know how to make
   them truly happy...."

   The genie said,  "YOU WANT THAT BRIDGE TO BE
   TWO  LANES OR FOUR?"
