I am unpleasantly reminded of my days loading trucks for UPS.
I still like my wish better:
Ever since I read Stephen King’s Thinner in high school, I’ve occasionally practiced phrasing wishes in a way that avoids loopholes. 
I’m reminded of Brian in Knights of the Dinner Table having a pre-written wish (extensively thought through and reviewed by a paralegal) on hand just in case one of his characters got a chance to invoke it.
This was the central premise of A.S. Byatt’s novella The Djinn In The Nightingale’s Eye, which was made into the movie Three Thousand Years Of Longing. The protagonist is a literature scholar who studies folk tales, so when she buys an antique glass flask and inadvertently releases the genie imprisoned within, she thinks long and carefully before making her traditional three wishes.
Huh, within the next couple of years, I now expect there to be a harem anime about HVAC system repair.
My main complaint about hand dryers isn’t that they take forever to heat up, but they take forever to, you know, actually dry your hands.

Several years ago I had one of those semi-awake dreams, you know when you’re just coming out of sleep in the morning, about this really neat snake I had found in Baja California.

It’s super useful to know that the sphere is about 40,000 square degrees in area. Especially if you also know that the sun and moon each have a diameter of about 0.5 degrees, or about 0.2 square degrees, since it means each one covers about 1/200,000 of the sky.
I wonder how flat the planets would need to be to make this work?
