Default Ruin A Wish
Here's a fun game I came across on another forum:

Basically you ruin the person above you's wish, then make a wish of your own.

For example:
I wish I had a car.

Then the next person says:
Granted, but its top speed is 5mph. I wish I had a dog.

Then the next person ruins that wish, etc. etc.


I'll Start:
I wish I could fly.

Granted, but as humor is often relative, nobody is going to get the punch line.

I wish I could sell my house for more than what I am currently asking for it.

Granted, but all the decorations are made out of Limburger cheese. Now your entire house smells like feet.

I wish I can do more travelling in 2008.

granted, but you have to spend your vacation time vacationing in a small, cold tent in the middle of eastern Europe.

I wish I had an amusing tie.

Granted. You throw your back out trying to get it into your third floor walk-up apartment.

I wish I had a new Mac Pro workstation with dual 30" monitors.

Granted, but they generate so much heat that you can't stand them for more than a few seconds at a time.

I wish someone would buy me snow tires.

Granted, but the third floor is full of thousands of roaches that likes to pay daily visits to the other two floor and crawl into your bed.

I wish I lived in Las Vegas.
