Granted, but it is the worst coffee you ever tasted because it has sleeping pills in it.

I wish I had the ability to focus on studying for my exams.

Granted. But you always end up studying stuff which doesn't come in the exams.

I wish I get a great job.

*Wish granted*
Unfortunately now you can sing, you're no longer able to talk normally. Even more unfortunately you forgot to specify that you'd like to sing really well. You star in a short lived, unhappily remembered TV show called "My life the musical" which becomes your claim to fame.

I wish I could fly (and can't fall while doing so )

Granted, but you are very visible on radar and are eventually blown up by an anti-aircraft missile while flying too close to Washington DC.

I wish I was allowed to use a Mac at work.

Granted. It's an LC-III "pizza box," circa 1990.

I wish I was a little taller.

Granted. You are now 1/16th of an inch taller.

I wish that Vista never existed and I could easily buy a computer with just XP.

Granted, but now you're stuck with the original XP and none of the service packs that made it stable will ever be released!

I wish I was never wrong

Granted, but like Cassandra, even though you are right, nobody is ever going to believe you.

I wish the Holidays were sooner so I could take a vacation.

I wish I owned an ice cream store.

Granted, but your complete and total lack of phermones causes you to be ignored by the opposite sex, and causes dogs to act un-naturally hostile towards you.

I wish I had unlimited free refills at Starbucks.

Granted, but endless card-counting fries your brain and you end up a gibbering wreck.


I wish I could keep my study tidy.

Granted, but you must use it as a fire-starter.

I wish no one can ruin my wish to wish that no one can ruin my wish.

*Granted*
No one ruins your wishes. You get exactly what you ask for. Which is good... for a while. Eventually though, you feel left out that no one is even trying to ruin your wishes and getting exactly what you want all the time becomes a bit...well dull believe it or not. You end up wishing that somehow you can get back in on the ruin a wish game.

I wish the traffic would run smoothly and not jam in the mornings.

Granted. You live on Komodo Island, hanging out with the dragons. No traffic problems there.

I wish for a warm, green xmas so I can get my motorcycle out on xmas day.

Granted, the snow melts and evaporates and turns into rain.



I wish my throat would stop being so congested.

Granted, but the only place you can pick-up the gasoline is at a cartel-owned gas-station in Panama.

I wish my eyes would cure this damn infection.

Granted but you get an embarrassing condition which requires you to drop your trousers in front of a physcian who happens to be close friend of your mother.

I wish I could write a blockbuster film (by Thursday)

Granted, although said blockbuster film incites religious extremists to protest outside your house for several years.

I wish I could have a deer-free garden, year round.
