Granted

You have a clone of the UN Secretariat, but since it has more than 2,000 members, it has taken over your house--in fact, your whole neighborhood--and you are being charged with disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, and making silly wishes.

I wish I knew how to get back at people who tell me my writing sucks.

Granted. You learn to follow them around and slash their tires. Unfortunately one of your victims is a cousin of a Mafia godfather.

I wish I had a box big enough for all the inkpens.

You now have a box big enough for every ink pen ever made in the world ever.... Too bad you were still in the bottom of the box when they dumped them all in there.

O O P S!

I wish I had a blue shoe...

I wish a famous director would offer me a part in his movie.

You are now three-legged bob, the rabbid ocelot. Is it true that the costume they make you wear is 90 pounds, and skulding hot inside?

I wish there was a reason for snow.

Snow cones. Only you just get the yellow ones. (And no, it ain't lemon)


I wish the window wasn't leaking.

The snow stops. The glaciers start. You do know how to hunt for mammoth, right?



I wish I could be in multiple places at once.

Granted. You can be here and on the surface of any planet without a habitable atmosphere at the same time. Not as useful as you'd hoped? Never is around here.

I wish I didn't need a day job.

Granted.

You have a night job. You work from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. and, with all the chores you have to do during the day, you are lucky if you can catch 3 or 4 hours sleep before going to work again. But hey, you certainly don't need a day job.

I wish I were famous, so that my name would keep coming up on the news shows.

Granted. He fills it with gold dust which he buys with your credit card.

I wish my car would remove snow and ice from itself.

Granted.

However, in order to do so, it comes to life and takes on the personality of a dead relative (as in the ill-fated sitcom My Mother the Car), and now it talks to you constantly, bitching, shouting, complaining all day and, at night, cursing you from the garage.

I wish I had as much money as Tiger Woods.

I wish I was somewhere warmer.

Granted. There is now a Nightfly sandwich. It is not very popular because it is served only at night and its meat is quite small and has wings.


I wish I could be sure my scales were accurate.

I wish I had a parka.

Granted. It's a magic parka that protects you from sleet (but not rain, snow or hail) and now that you've tried it on, well, you'll never get it off. It's too bulky to wear anything over, either.

I wish I owned the moon and that it was exempt from property taxes.

Congratulations. You own one of Saturn's smallest moons and since it is worthless there are no property taxes on it.

I wish I had space to organize my clothes.

Granted.

You have been transported to the middle of the Gobi Desert, and you have space to do anything you want.

I wish I could travel back to ancient Greece.

Granted. Genie transports you to the pass of Thermopylae just in time for you to fight in the shade.

I wish my magic parka would go away.
