Then there's the old one. Genie appears, offers man one wish. Man thinks about it and then says "All right, I have it. Build me a bridge to take me to Heaven so I can meet God."
Genie looks at him with pity. "That is impossible. Try again."
Man thinks again, hard. Then he nods. "Okay then, what about this? I want to understand women. I want to know what they mean when you ask them what's wrong and they say "nothing". The cold, angry silences. The lost temper. How they remember important dates you forget, and how they can bring up something you said in the heat of an argument years ago and use it against you. I want to know what goes on inside their heads, what they think about, how they feel."
Genie sighs.
"How high did you want that bridge again?"
