A wish

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head...
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 biker pulled over and said, "I don't like to fly, and get sea sick on ships. I have always wanted to see Hawaii though. Would you please build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.."
The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! 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 could possibly help mankind."

The biker thought about it for a long time...

Finally, he said, "Lord, after much thought I wish that I, and all conservatives, could understand our liberal neighbors; I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking, why they cry and carry on, and how I can make a liberal truly happy."

The Lord replied,

"You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
