A truck driver was tooling down the highway one afternoon
and heard a "pop." Thinking that perhaps he
had blown a tire, he steered the rig onto the shoulder
and walked back to check his tires.
He found a bottle laying in the gutter. He picked it up
and wiped off the label to see what kind of bottle it was
when a very old genie popped out.
The genie said, "Man, I'm too old for this! You
get one wish -- not three -- just one."
The driver thought long and hard, and finally said, "It
would be really nice for all the bridges to be wide enough
that over-sized loads could get through without any trouble."
The genie said, "Do you know how many bridges
that would be?! Can't you come up with something simpler?"
The driver replied, "How about if you make all
the blondes as smart as brunettes?"
The genie shook his head vigorously and answered, "How
wide would you like those bridges?"
