Granted, you now own stock in 'Lick-tha-toad Energy Inc.', they discovered that licking toads generate lots of surplus energy. Their stock soars, but before you manage to cash in on it, the company is seized by the government and nationalized. And you don't get a cent for it!

I wish I didn't have to ride the comuter train for and hour and a half home today.

Granted. You now have to walk home each night as trains now only run one way. How they get back to the starting point each morning is still a mystery.

I wish my doctor would let me eat ham again.

Okay, Monty Python didn't work.

Free karma to the next ten people who post off-topic on this thread.

Maybe outright bribery will do it.

Bribery and chocolate will get you many things.

Have you gotten your TV ready for the coming analog shutoff?

I've got cable, so the TV's that I have that are not Digital will be okay. Although, I have been trying to get the spousal unit to cave in on the need for a flat screen in our bedroom, rather than the one we have now.

Granted, your doctor lets you eat ham again, problem is that you no longer have a craving for it.

Wish I could figure out how the trains are able to only run one way. That would probably make me rich someway or other.

Granted. The trains run all around the world and are back next morning to your station. Unfortunately you are not getting any richer knowing that. Moreover every morning you will have to stand, as the seats are all occupied by people that jumped on all around the world.

I wish the parcel I retired this morning was my eBookwise, and not the sandals my wife bought on Amazon

Granted: You've discovered the CSX Wormhole that allows the trains to move from one place to another without covering the intervening distance. (Who knew the trains were using teleportation all this time?)

Unfortunately, now that the news is out, the aliens from Alpha Ceti Four who secretly gave it to the rail industry come and take it back. Now everybody walks both ways, and they blame you for letting the cat out of the bag.

(Whew.)

I wish I'd moved faster on my stock options (not to mention my wish-corrupting response) and cashed in before the revenooers took over Lick tha' Toad.

Granted. Unfortunately it was packed so badly it is DOA, and you have to send it back; meaning your wife still gets her sandals before you get your ebookwise

Granted. However, you failed to notice the small print which obliges you to lick 5000 toads before you can cash in your shares. By the time you have done that, Lick Tha Toad has still been taken over.

I wish I didn't have a perverse urge to post off topic here just to get karma

Yeah, but the thing with karma is, it's a bit like wishing people "luck" or, as the saying goes, to "live in interesting times". Karma is not specifically positive.

So, you giving free karma might be like me wishing "luck" to the creator of Cadbury's gorilla commercial (that is, "bad luck", like, let's say, a large, 15kg chunk of coprolite inexplicably comes falling from the sky and crushes the twat's already-crap-filled skull).

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Granted. You still have that wish, but it's no more considered perverse.

I wish that wishing was considered OffTopic here

Pshrink, I'm ready for the dark side too
