Brett,
Your experience and one of the returns about not understanding women, reminded me of my Uncle George and the "Bottle Genie"....
Seems one day Uncle George was walking on the beach with his magnetic treasure hunter wand. He came across an interesting shaped bottle and rubbed it to get the sand off:
"Poof" a cloud of smoke and a Genie came out.
Uncle George was esctatic as he thought he was going to get three wishes and would be set for life. Unfortunately, the Genie told him that because he it had only been 50 years since he was put back in the bottle, Uncle George was only going to get one wish!
Well, Uncle George thought seriously about that one wish, gave grave consideration to what his wish was.... Finally he asked the Genie for a highway to be built to Hawaii...
The Genie was trying to get out of that, telling Uncle George that 3700 miles(Uncle George was living in Washington State then) was kind of a long way to build a bridged highway over the water. He asked Uncle George if he wouldn't rather have a billion dollar, etc. Uncle George said no, he really wanted that highway to Hawaii. So, the Genie, still trying to get out of that wish grant, asked Uncle George why he wanted a highway to Hawaii.
Uncle George told him that it was coming up to his 25th wedding anniversary and his wife wanted to go to Hawaii, but Uncle George was terrified of flying and his wife was extremely sea sick. So Uncle George thought the hiway was the perfect answer. The Genie, again demurred and told Uncle George that he couldn't build the highway soon enough for the wedding anniversary and asked Uncle George if there wasn't SOMETHING ELSE that would satisfy the wish.
Well, Uncle George thought some more and told the Genie he wanted the ability to understand women, that he had been married for almost 25 years and still couldn't figure women out.....
The Genie thought about that for awhile and then told Uncle George.... "You want four lanes or eight lanes."
