Dover man, Genie and Europe.

One day a Dover man was walking along the beach and found a very odd looking bottle, he picked it up and opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, “For your kindness I will grant you a wish, but only one.”

The man said, “I have always wanted to visit Europe but have never been able to because I’m afraid of flying and the channel ferries make me extremely seasick. So I wish for a road to be built from here to France.” The genie thought for a minute and said, “No, I don’t think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved: the pilings needed to hold up the highway, how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean and the height to allow ships to pass via the English Channel. Think of the entire pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask.”

The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, “Well, there is something that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand my girlfriend. What makes her laugh and cry, why is she temperamental, why is she so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes her tick?” The genie looked at the man and said, “So, do you want two lanes or four?”
