The genie granting your wishes is a little deaf, so now you have to explain why you have a person who studies dinosaur bones in your pocket.

I wish for more wishes!

You sir now have a 12" pianist. The only song he knows is “Loving You”, the Minnie Ripperton song and he insists on playing it all the time.  
I wish to become the inventor of an environmentally friendly source of fuel that is plentiful and inexpensive.

You do, billions of 'em. They’re all granted to other, bad people though, for bad things.

Here ya go. Alas, it’s a defective batch. With each one, as soon as you mutter the words “I wish”, the wish expires and is no longer usable. People look at you oddly because you constantly mutter “I wish… Damn. I wish… Damn.”, &c.

And so you do. But you are unable to make any money from it since you can’t patent shit.

Granted. However, there’s no hair to shed now because the cat contracts a disease the commucible to humans, and is most contagious the night you throw a blowout party at your house with 100 guests.

I wish the world would stop watching TV and start reading and conversing more.

Done! We all spend all our free time with our noses in a book, forsaking our jobs and responsibilities for our insatiable desire to read, and reread, this one book, and discuss (argue) its intricacies for hours upon days upon weeks. Did I mention it’s a collection of Harry Potter fanfics?

I wish I was playing in the NBA.

And by ‘join’ you did mean ‘become grafted to’, right? Congradulations, you’re now a three-bodied freak.

Congratulations you have $1,000 US dollars. Unfortunately the dollar is no longer worth anything, and you must barter for food.

I wish for a shiny new ray gun, that causes clowns and mimes to go away.
