God appears to this bloke and says “You’ve lived such a good life, I am going to perform a miracle just for you, anything you want.”
The bloke thinks, then says: “ I hate flying but I love going to the States. Could you build me a bridge over the Atlantic, so that I can drive there?”
God replies: “Are you sure? Do you realise what a feat of engineering that is? Have you thought about the logistics? And anyway, isn’t it a bit selfish? Don’t you want to choose something that will benefit all of mankind?”
The bloke considers this for a while then says; “You’re right. I tell you what: I want to understand women. How they think, what they really mean when they say something, how to get them out of their moods – all that sort of stuff.”
God replies: “Will that be a dual or a single carriageway?”
