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 me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over any time I want to."

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!

Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how a I can make a woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want that bridge two lanes or four lanes?" ***

Willie F of Sacramento CA writes: What a difference a century makes! Here are some of the U.S. Statistics for the Year 1907:

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California.
