Corrupt a Wish Foundation

[Agent 333]

Granted. You no longer dream.

I wish my comics would arrive on time.

[MugMug]

They do, and the Post Office has thoughtfully provided plastic bags. Of course, that's SOP when a mail truck catches fire and is doused by quick-acting fire techs. (True story, though not with comics.)

I wish my boy was old enough to have a telephonic conversation; I miss that little bastard.

Damn, I was going to answer this one, but the respone I had made me feel bad, so I decided not too.

I totally read that as telepathic for something like 10 seconds

I do appreciate your sensitivity, Bill, but I did put my boy into play. I trust you guys to keep things reasonable (e.g. making a call out from the inside of a whale would be fine; making tearful ransom calls when kidnapped by a paedophile... not so much).

If it helps, we're only apart for a few weeks (as opposed to having lost a custody battle, being deployed overseas, or similar). I'll be in Germany for a short assignment and can't bring my family ($), so my wife is taking the opportunity to take the kids to her parents for a few weeks of visiting the extended family.

Telepathic would be cool, too.

Ok, this is more mean towards you than your boy, and if you are anything like me the skin is thicker at comments directed personally than at loved ones, so I'll run with it.

Granted, unfortunately that means he has had to grow up extremely fast in the short time you have been away and you missed much of his childhood.  Also, since you missed some birthdays in there, even now that he can call you, he doesn't really want to.

I just finished an Ice Hockey class and I found out just how bad I am at skating, so I really just wish I could skate well.

[Agent 333]

Granted, you can now rollerskate extreamly well. You still bite at ice skating though.

I wish the weather were nicer.

[MilitiaJim]

I wish the weather were nicer.

Granted.  The weather decides to be nicer to you specifically and pets you with an icy hand the size of a VW microbus.

I wish I had more money, without devaluing the currency.

[Bill Whitmore]

I wish I had more money, without devaluing the currency.

Granted, just make sure that penny is showing heads before you pick it up off the street.

I wish I was omniscient.

[glimmerrat]

You are. You now know everything, including all the shitty things that everyone thinks of you, when and why you'll get fired (even though you can't avoid it) and even how sweet old granny likes it in the bedroom. You get to be witness to every time it happens. Enjoy!

I wish babies didn't cry so darn much.

[Wolverine]

I wish babies didn't cry so darn much.

Granted. Instead they projectile vomit instead. Twice whenever you're 'within range'.

I wish that people I work with had the guts to actually tell me to my face that they think I have a bad 'work ethic'.

[Agent 333]

Granted. Your boss now gets enough nerve to fire you for your bad work ethic.

I wish I could play games more often than I run them.

[Nepenthe]

I wish that people I work with had the guts to actually tell me to my face that they think I have a bad 'work ethic'.

Not to derail, but I just went through something like this at two previous jobs (that were sort of related). The fact that I was considerably better and more productive in spite of it didn't endear me to my co-workers... 

Now back to your scheduled corrupting

[TheAuldGrump]

Granted. Your boss now gets enough nerve to fire you for your bad work ethic.

I wish I could play games more often than I run them.

Granted! You quickly realize however that you would rather run games. (Gods know, I have been there.)

I wish that I was better at improvising.

The Auld Grump

[Agent 333]

Granted. You now suck at any kind of planning though. Good luck getting through life.

I wish Futurama hadn't been canceled.
