Granted. You now can play better than Stan Getz ever could. However, your instrument is four inches long, made of pink plastic and you can only play "Three Blind Mice." Have you cleared that with ASCAP?

I wish I could have free round-trip air fare to Europe.

Granted. Now you're standing on your head, and it's right-side-up to you.


I wish I was a genius.

You're a genius. You'll never laugh at another joke, because you think fast enough to anticipate all the punchlines.

I wish I had a hundred-foot chain of solid gold paper clips.

Granted, but you must forever wear them wrapped around you (kinda like Marley's Ghost).

I wish I were as smart as Sherlock Holmes.

You are. But he's a fictional character, so now you are too and no longer exist except on paper. But you're a brilliant fake crime solver!

I wish I weren't so shy in class and that I always had something clever to contribute.

you get brave during class one day, and speak so profoundly that you gain international acclaim, papparazzi included..which throws you into such a state of discomfort you go completely nuts anad have to be locked away. sorry you asked?

i wish i could transfer my thoughts directly to my keyboard as fast as i think them.

Granted. Someone bites you. You are devoured and then excreted. It is not fun.

I wish it were Christmas.

Your wish is granted. From now on it will be Christmas every day, with fake Santa Clauses going ho ho ho at the mall and your credit card maxed out and too many plum puddings under your belt. You have constant heartburn and indigestion.

I wish there were no scam artists in the world and that you could take business people at their word.

You're a cute little hamster with your very own running wheel.

I wish I knew a wish that couldn't be ruined.

you do decide on the perfect wish, one that no one can twist, but before you can spit it out, your computer catches on fire, and then your house, and you have to use your wish for a new place.


i wish i could travel through time.

You can travel through time. Right through to the day the earth drops to sub-sub-sub zero temperatures because the sun died, and now every living thing will freeze. And, as always, your time-travel machine seems to be malfunctioning....

I wish I didn't have to pull an all-nighter tonight. :cry: :sleepy:

You don't. The sun has died and soon everything will be frozen. Don't worry about deadlines; build a big fire.

My wife wants a tomato red Volvo V70XC. I don't. I want to find the battery charger for my camera.

You are now Rip Van Winkle. Maybe you'll wake up before the next millennia?

I wish my soul mate - still single, mind you - would magically show up at my door, professing his love for me.

POOF!! You are now a very sophisticated and VERY expensive of Berlitz languarge school voice recognition/translation software.


CIAO!!!

I wish I could afford to employ a snazzy butler that although snooty, would be happy to give me excellent foot rubs every night.

you find this amazing foot-rubbing butler, however your S.O. walks in mid-rub and assumes the worse, kicking you out and cutting off your share of the money, and keeps the butler!

i wish i could play music by ear.

Granted! But Ear's a very hostile musician, and if he catches you playing his music, he'll take you to court and unleash his paralegal hounds.

I wish I could have any books I want brought to me at any moment's notice.

Granted. The librarian at your prison always delivers for lifers.

I wish I could play a musical instrument.
