Heres one I got from work:
The Bridge,
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 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 to the bottom of the
Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust every
natural resource I have made. 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 a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
