Well, I don’t have any ducks, but I just happen to have something _just as good_… A Million Bucks! Yes, a million male deer, all angry, amorous and in a rutting mood… enjoy I want immortality and eternal Young Adulthood (like eternal youth, but not as annoying) ---

[What’s it been-about a year since we last did this?] You get a million of them, dumped out of the hold of a big cargo helicopter-but each one is filled with lead, and you are crushed beneath the weight of 1,000,000 ten pound quackers. I wish that the next person’s wish is screwed with, and not mine. ---

Poof! You’re 20 again. Too bad you now have terminal cancer and will be dead within six months. I wish for whirled peas. ---

Whirled peas are yours - delightful little green peas, all blended into a smooth concoction and delivered intravenously. Your death is multicolored and horrifying. I wish for my life and health insurance business to grow steadily over the next few years so that I can consistently make enough money to be comfortable while simultaneously helping people with their coverage. ---

Nobody likes insurance agents, even if they’re trying to be helpful. You’re buried in claims forms and set on fire by a vengeful client. I wish I were immune to all STDs and irresistible to one different beautiful woman at a time, when I chose to be. ---

Too bad you’re not immune to knives. A beautiful psycho stalks you and stabs you to death. I wish I could do a kip up (that ninja move where you get knocked on your back and pop yourself up into a standing position). ---

Presto! you have _almost_ that ability, you have the ability to summon a lifetime supply of kippered herring I don’t want anything… ---

> [@Picard\_Kills\_Kirk](#): > > I wish I remembered to post my wish the first time. You did. But the lack of editing was just the evidence the Council of Crazies needed to conclude you are an infallible robot sent to destroy them. To err is human, after all. You are found in three separate dumpsters the following day. I wish, I wish I hadn’t killed that fish. ---
