I’d wish for fewer rulz. But, given only ONE wish, I could not then make a second wish that takes advantage of the first wish. But then, someone else could. But that then amounts to making a wish that only benefits others, and not me at all. So wishing for fewer rulz violates the selfish-only rule!
Now, if we could carefully put this sequence of wishes and consequences into a proper order, perhaps it could be made to work.
[list=“1”]
[li] I wish for fewer rulz. This doesn’t benefit anyone else yet nor explicitly fail to benefit myself yet.[/li][li] At the moment this wish is granted, there are fewer rulz, which I would hope includes the elimination of the selfish-only rule.[/li][li] Thus, at the moment this wish becomes effective, it becomes legal within the remaining rulz.[/li][li] If the limit to ONE wish remains, I still don’t get to benefit from it, although now others would.[/li][li] So if I don’t stand to benefit, the hell with it. I still couldn’t make a second wish for someone else’s benefit if the ONE wish rule stands.[/li][/list]
A large, comfortable house - mansion-size, but one that fits in comfortably into the scenery, rather than trying to dominate it - on the beachfront in Wailea, Maui.
I wish my house was clean, top to bottom, with no effort on my part. Doesn’t have to stay that way, but it would be really nice to have it happen at least once.
I wish my husband’s debilitating genetic medical condition could be magically cured. Or at least the unending chronic pain part. And yes, that is a very selfish wish; if he were healthy and pain-free, my life would be a lot easier and happier.
If you can’t or don’t want to follow the rules, fine. I am flexible…
You still get only one wish, but it can be anything you want. Hell, i don’t even care if you wish for more wishes or more genies. Knock yourselves out! So yeah, ypu can mphave more than one wish. I’m just forcing you to say "I wish for more woshes, so you can look like a dork.
So, you can have x-men comic book number 1 AND a piece of apple pie if you want! Or you can buy a pro football team and QB it to a Super Bowl win! Or you can become an actual hobbit, and be real life friends with Bilbo Baggins!
The Ish thought they were getting a great deal when they picked up that Wish Dish, but whenever they get near it, they forget about whatever it was they’d intended to wish for, and find the only thing they can wish for is fish.
I think the point of the OP is more along the lines of “If you had an infinitely wealthy benefactor, what would you ask for (can’t ask for cash)”…
I’m sure if someone came up to you with those conditions, there would be much less bitching (or not?)
This is actually pretty tough. Real estate? Material things? Once-in-a-lifetime experience?
I’d probably either ask for an unlimited lifetime airline pass, a world tour of the 3-star michelin restaurants, or lifetime courtside seats to the Wizards (maybe Lakers, Heat, Knicks, Rockets, and Bulls as long as I’m wishing).
I still couldn’t make a second wish for someone else’s benefit if the ONE wish rule stands.[/li][/list]
