You have a coop on your car. It’s really big, though, and scratches the paint something awful. I wish nothing bad would happen to me ever again. ---

Nothing good ever happens either, Your life becomes an emotionless void. You are Keanu Reeves’ twin. I wish all those chickens would fly the coop. ---

They do, and your house is covered by eggs as a parting gift. I wish I had the pair of nice shoes, whole, my dog chewed up 15 years ago. (Never found them anywhere else). ---

They’re found on a nearby beach with 2 feet still in them (not yours thankfully enough). I wish that the eye dilation that my opthamologist gave me this morning would wear the fuck off already. ---

Your eye sockets are raped by a violently crazed felon. No more dilation problem. Was that the “fuck off” you had in mind? I wish every woman I find attractive wanted to have sex with me, but could take “No” for an answer when I got tired. ---

Unfortunately your testicles are pulled off in a horrible biking accident. You’re not all that turned on by women anymore, turns out. I wish I had an awesome smartphone that got great reception everywhere, unlimited data, and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. ---

Done. It costs two arms and three legs! “Sorry, Mom…” I wish everyone who had a surplus body part could have it painlessly and safely disappear, if he or she individually wished for it to do so. ---

Your back yard is inundated with a constant drip of tonsils, adenoids and appendixes. (appendices?!?) I wish getting into good physical condition was easy. ---

The rest of humanity disappears in the twinkling of an eye. By definition, you’re now the fittest human being on the planet. I wish someone could accurately time “the twinkling of an eye.” ---

However, staying in good physical condition now requires exercising 16 hours a day. I wish this thread had never happened and my life was back just the way it was before this thread started. ---

It has been timed to the most precise increment available. Then somebody stuck his finger in your eye. I wish I could find where to buy this kind of soap I’m looking for. ---

Too bad you don’t know what a jiffy is.
