The Lord and the hot rodder

A hot rodder was driving along a California beach when 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 rodder pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can
drive over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the
enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports
required to reach the bottom of the
P a c i f i c! The concrete and steel
it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. 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 something that would
honor and glorify me."

The rodder thought about it for a long time. Finally he said,
"Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how
she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent
treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's
wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
