congratulations, Bob! chiclets have permanently glued together all previously discabobulated parts of the universe - unfortunately, there is no known way of unsticking anything.

I wish I had a lollipop.(and that I could type faster)

Idem: Granted, unfortunately people are always killing each other and blaming it on you.

I wish I could write a best selling diet book.

Pooka, you have just published the best selling diet book, but three years later it turns out that in fact, the diet you reccomend also shrinks the kidneys into unusable raisins. You, as a user of your own diet, die taking half of the USA with you.

Bob, you have no body hair. Too bad about that gorgeous woman you just met whose only stipulation for making love to a man is that he must be very very hairy.

I wish I my boss would die of heart failure.

You find true love in a magazine. From 1947.

Your boss is driving you to a meeting at the time.

I wish politicians told the truth all the time.

Politicians always tell the truth, leading to a massive failure of government, rioting, and anarchy. (I honestly believe that would happen, to be frank.)

I wish I were immune to all harmful diseases.

Wish granted, but your hand will catch fire each time, going your clothes destroying them; only to publicily humiliate you upon each use.

I wish that others' wishes were granted as they want them.

Thousands of men and women die from inability to circulate blood efficiently due to monstrously oversized phalluses and breasts. You are forced to spend your life with self-centered, egotistical jerks.

Sure wish I could move super speedy fast.

I agree, that would be nice. However after five years of overusing your gift you wind up with a severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome and aare unable to type and post on hatrack, forever denying us your clever company.

Man, I dunno. Wolverine's power, how about that. That'd be nice.

No, see, the correct way to twist it back on me is to say that I horribly break my leg and the tissue around it heals up immediately, freezing the shattered bone in place.

Pretty sure healing anything can heal a blood infection, too.

Book, you have a blood infection? Yeah, Wolverine could even keep from being affected by tranquilizers. At least in the movie.

Carb counters consequently lose one of their staples and become very crabby, causing a 27% increase in murder and, surprisingly, a 63% rise in rape.

I wish for once I could have dinner with a celebrity who wasn't bound and gagged.

Congratulations. You can now get a full night's rest in 4 hours. Unfortunately, you are unable to sleep more than that, and you develop acute noctiphobia.

Gilded copies of the following books appear on your bookshelf.

Ethics for the New Millennium: His Holiness the Dalai Lama
The Book of Jewish Values: A Day-By-Day Guide to Ethical Living
Cyberethics: Social & Moral Issues in the Computer Age

I wish I could eat yummy meals everyday without gaining an ounce of weight.

Granted. The massive tape worm in your stomach robs you of all nutrients, regardless of how much you eat. You waste away, and eventually die of starvation.

You are immediately enlightened, you transcend and attain Nirvana.

Unfortunately Kurt Cobain is no longer with us, so you obtain Courtney Love instead. This immediately counteracts your initial enlightenment.

I wish to be parasite free.

Iocaine comes exclusively from Australia! And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, as everyone knows. And criminals are used to people not trusting them as you are are not trusted by me so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me!

You have a dizzying intellect.

Wait till I get going!... Where was I.

Australia.

Ah yes. And you must have suspected I would know the powders origin. You would have counted on it! So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

(argument continues)

You've made your choice?

Yes. Let's drink. I from my glass, and you from yours. (they drink)

(smirks)You guessed wrong

You only think I guessed wrong, that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only SLIGHTLY less well known is this. NEVER go in against a sicilian, when DEATH is on the line! Ahahahahahahah Ahahahahahahah Ha Ha HA... (dies)

You do. Now you know eery single person in your life who is living a lie. You know every public figure who has a secret. You know every politician whose career you could end with a phone call. Now you will be tempted. You will live a life conflicted by whether or not to resort to blackmail. If you ever do, you will end up being killed by your target. If you don't, you will always, always be tempted. Enjoy your living hell, my friend.

You now own the entire run of Black Adder. On Betamax. Good luck finding something to play it on. If you manage it, you'll discover that the whole thing is a pirated version of the series, dubbed in Cantonese.

I wish to know what the consensus of future generations will be on the events going on in the present.
