A wish from God

[Southron]

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have always TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”

The man said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want.”

The Lord said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! 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 man 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 my wife truly happy.”

The Lord replied, “Would you like a two or four lane bridge?”

Absurd... actually.

But, funny.

[GMAN]

That funny!

Absurd... actually.

But, funny.

As I said, superb. Analysing humour may not be a strong point of mine; if I laugh out loud then it's bloody funny in my book. We can't all be experts on everything. I'm happy enough being an academic in history, leaving humour to established experts like Hog and this poster

I heard ya! Didn't really disagree with ya... just "opined" that it was absurd.

I think we ALL apply the same yardstick. I give a 10 to anything Hoggie says/posts that makes me spew my beer... or snot.

We can't all be experts on everything. I'm happy enough being an academic in history,

I would DIE for the privilege of BEING one! Would save me HOURS of googling!

RoadHog is the "expert" in humour on this board. I am not even worthy to wear his "worn out" slippers! But, I DO try, now and then, to lighten things up with my OWN style of humor.

It doesn't go OVER very well.

Glad to see you BACK, Limey! Thought we had LOST you to a more 'etherial' life.
