A man riding his Harley was riding along
a California beach, when
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 biker pulled over and said, "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
reaching
the bottom of the Pacific and 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 could
possibly help
mankind."
The biker thought about it for a long time.
Finally, he said, "Lord, I wish that I and all men could
understand
women; 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?"
What's a penis worth? $795,000, according to a court
ruling.
The court in Bucharest, Romania, ordered a doctor to pay that amount
in compensation after surgery that went horribly wrong.
The Romanian surgeon was ordered to hand over the money to a patient
whose penis he accidentally severed during a botched operation.
The court was told that in July 2004, Dr. Naum Ciomu made a surgical
error while operating on the man's testicles, severing the penis instead
of making an incision to the testicle.
