The Road to Hawaii

“The Road to Hawaii” – e-Hawaii Joke

This man was walking along the beach in Southern California and discovered what appeared to be a Genie’s lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and sure enough, out came this Genie. The Genie was so excited to be out of the lamp that he gave the man the customary three wishes.

The man thought for a few seconds then said to the Genie, “I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to. You see I am afraid to fly and I get seasick in the bathtub. I would like you to construct a highway to Hawaii so I can drive there.”

The Genie scratched his head, did some quick calculations, then sadly said, “I hate to tell you this but your wish might be too much for me to give. You see, it would take a tremendous amount of time to lobby the Department of Transportation, the Department of Federal Highway and Safety Administration. Then, the construction costs would require further tax hikes. On top of all this, we would have to construct fuel stations along the route as well. I have never had to turn down a wish like this and I am somewhat embarrassed to do so, but can you think of another wish instead of this one?”

The man was disappointed to hear this bad news but took it in stride. He thought a few more seconds and then said, “I have been married for 15 years and have really never been able to understand my wife. I wish you could help me understand my wife.”

The Genie interrupted the man quickly and asked, “Would you like that highway two lane or four lane?”
