I make a wish, and the next person to post finds an ironic way to derive bad consequences from granting the wish, or to otherwise tag a downside to it, and so on and so forth.
Example:
[quote=“Person 2”]
granted. you got it real cheap because it was crushed under a giant anvil.
i wish i was the most attractive person in the world[/quote]
[quote="Person 3]
granted. you are the most attractive person in the world, and both sexes now want your body.
i wish i had a big, juicy steak.[/quote]
[quote=“Person 4”]
granted. how’s your diet going?
i wish i was invulnerable to every kind of harm.[/quote]
Enjoy your stale and undercooked,yet somehow still burnt to a crisp, bleached, non-sustainable flour waffles, sourced from countries that pay slave labour wages, slathered in sodium-rich, overly salted faux-maple syrup, bound with heart clogging hydrogenated fats!
You win the game but it continues on anyway and you’re never really sure that you won the game and also there seem to be lots of winners and some of them seem to have won better than you.
Granted…by a French genie who thought you said “A penis”. You now have a penis laying on the ground in front of you. It’s slightly worse than your existing one.
When you wake you will find that the rain has washed away all the snow, and you will also find that your regret over spending the time shoveling outpaces your pain.
I wish I had the power to resist reading columns by David Brooks when everyone is abuzz about him.
