Okay... for those of you who have never read the book and have no idea how the monkey's paw is played.

Person A makes a wish
such as:

I wish I had a million dollars.

Person B grants the wish but with a horribly screwed up twist.
Such as:

GRANTED! However, it was all in counterfeit hundreds that the FBI has finally tracked to you.

Rules. Make a plausible wish. No specifics... Nothing like "I wish I had a cookie that wasn't poisoned or uncooked or made with raisins." make it simple.
Uhm... I know there's another one... I just can't think of it... oh well...

OH YEAH!!! After you grant the previous persons wish, make a wish of your own. Ok?

Get it? YAY!!! IT"S FUN! NOW PLAY!

I'll start.

I wish I was handsome.

Turgan: You are now handsome. You are being stalked by five women and two men. One of them is in your basement right now.

T_Smith: Your prize for beating it is getting to play a real-life version of "The even darker room."

I wish that I could get more sleep.

Granted. You sleep so well that you don't get up for ten years. Too bad you never wrote your living will...

edit: Grr, Turgan! Granted, now Somethingpositive is the most boring drivel ever produced. The creator, now with no healthy way to express their anger, goes postal and kills several members of your family.

I wish I would get perfect scores on all my finals.

Congratulations, the only thing you ever remember now is names.

Granted! Too bad that after you ate it, you left crumbs all over the couch which attracted a swarm of hungry ants. Your house has been invaded and you can never invite company over again!

I wish I could be a librarian.

I wish to stop procrastinating.

GRANTED! As soon as you get that pass, however, The U.S. govt passes a law that the only movie allowed to be played in ANY movie theatre ANYWHERE is Titanic. Enjoy three or so hours of Hell, my friend.

I wish Woody Woodpecker were back in business.

(Oh, btw. ASM of EB Games means Assistant Manager of EB games. EB Games is the Video game store where I work. Just thought I'd clarify.)

Granted, your house is clean, but it's no longer Kosher, and you have no time to re-prepare.

I wish I had an MLT sandwich, you know, when the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe...

I wish I hadn't left my wallet at home today.

GRANTED!!
Financial aid is the ONLY thing you know now and you spend the entire rest of your life stuck in a midget sized office at some college campus advicing students on financial aid.

I wish I never went hungry again, but was still alive.
