Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large,
raging violent river.

Needing to get on the other side, the first man prayed, "God, please
give me the strength to cross the river."

Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim
across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second man prayed, "God, please give me
strength and the tools to cross the river."

Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he
was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing
once.

Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed, "God,
please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross
this river."

Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked a
hundred yards up stream and walked across the bridge.

Why do men always do things the long way round?
